READ: 2 Chronicles 15:7

THINK: Staying strong is the key to any difficult situation. When going through something like parents getting a divorce, depressing thoughts, people treating you bad, a death in the family, or even a Media Fast, it's important to follow through and stay strong. When you have no idea what to say or do in a situation... stay strong.

But staying strong in what? Staying strong in yourself may help for a while... but it won't sustain you for long. Staying strong in your friendships may seem logical... but eventually those friendships may fail you (and probably will). Staying strong in your faith... now that has real "staying power". Your relationship with God is the only thing that can help you stay strong in the midst of struggles and tragedies.

So remember... stay strong.

CHALLENGE: Today, what is your biggest weakness? Share that with God in prayer and share it with your small group leader and ask them to pray for you, too!
