Life has a way of placing obstacles in front of us at the exact moment we feel least prepared to handle them. We wake up with responsibilities waiting, expectations pressing, and the weight of unfinished battles sitting heavily on our shoulders. Every day pulls us forward, demanding more effort, more strength, more endurance.
And yet… how often do we pause?
How often do we take a breath long enough to recognize the grace that God has already placed inside us?
We push, we strive, we try to stay ahead — but sometimes we forget that endurance is not something we manufacture on our own. It’s something God instills in us long before the struggle arrives. His grace isn’t a distant idea; it’s the quiet power keeping us steady when everything around us shakes.
In The Price of Gold, the heart of the story beats with this very truth:
Struggles are not meant to break us.
They are meant to reveal the strength God planted within us.
When trials hit, we often look at the size of the mountain instead of the One who moves mountains. But faith doesn’t shrink from difficulty — faith walks toward it, knowing God walks with us.
Yes, the journey feels heavy.
Yes, the road is long.
Yes, the battles seem endless.
But woven through every moment is the grace to persevere.
Grace to rise.
Grace to heal.
Grace to fly — even when our wings feel torn.
God did not design you to be overwhelmed by life.
He designed you to overcome through Him.
So today, take a moment.
Breathe.
Remember whose strength carries you.
You can persevere.
You can rise above the weight that tries to drown you.
You can be great — not because life is easy, but because God is present.
And when struggles come, face them head-on…
because grace has already gone ahead of you.
