We want to quit. Life is too hard. Work is filled with conflicts. Our struggle with illness is intense. Children rebel. Parents need senior care. Everywhere we turn, our paths are blocked through paperwork, controlling natures, or complacent attitudes. When the grace does not flow through those in your path, ensure it flows through you. The saints and holy people who have gone on before us, learned to look past the obstacles. They recognized each of these, and more, as spiritual warfare. Take a moment to step back and remember to look at each moment in the eyes of Jesus. He took up the cross because He saw beyond it. Keep the end in sight, never give up, and know that we will finish in victory.
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith. - 1 John 5:4
