Endure

There is one constant in life---suffering. And suffering has a way of whittling everything down to the basics; it strips away our wants and leaves us with our needs. When we suffer, we ask the essential questions: How do I keep going? Can I do another day? Where am I going to get the strength to make it through this? "One foot in front of the other" is no cliche---it's a call to courage. In a world that holds you down and resists your forward momentum, the slow shuffle ahead is nothing short of heroic. To make it in this life, we must keep moving, keep pushing, keep going. You see, endurance is not a luxury; it's a necessity. We simply don't make it without it. Endurance is made of rugged, gritty, weathered faith. These 50 meditations provide anchor points for this journey as well as fuel for the road ahead.
