Jesus’s disciples found the emotional strength to carry out their incredible task by being in prayer continually.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.
