The Lord Stood By Me

"Endurance is not formed overnight. It is cultivated, slowly, through practices that root us more deeply in God and more deeply in one another. It is formed when we tell the story again and again, refusing to let it be forgotten. When we read scripture not as a task to be completed, but as a space in which we are encountered and reshaped. When we pray, even when the words feel thin. When we gather, even when we feel tired. When we commit ourselves to one another, not just when it is easy, but when it is costly." - Simon Woodman
