DO NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART. When you are dealing with difficulties that go on and on, it's easy to get so tired that you feel like giving up. Chronic problems can wear you out and wear you down. If you focus too much on these troubles, you're in danger of sliding into a black hole of self-pity or despair.
There are several kinds of weariness. Unrelieved physical tiredness makes you vulnerable to emotional exhaustion and spiritual fatigue--losing heart. However, I have equipped you to transcend your troubles by fixing your eyes on Me. I paid dearly for this provision by enduring the cross for you. Pondering My willingness to suffer so much can strengthen you to endure your own hardships.
Worshiping Me is a wonderful way to renew your strength in My Presence. When you take steps of faith by praising Me in the midst of difficulties, My glorious Light shines upon you. As you persevere in focusing on Me, you reflect My Glory to others, and you're transformed into My likeness with ever-increasing Glory.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:2-3
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
