All of us at one time or another find ourselves in a position where we have to endure. These are my personal favorite perseverance Bible verses. They have helped me persevere when I had lost most of my friends. They helped me accomplish things like raising my teenage kids as a single father, of being told over 185 times that I was not the person a church was looking for in a pastor, and have helped me persevere and be faithful in the little things even through the loneliness of being single. These perseverance Bible verses have paid off. I have raised 3 great kids, have become the pastor of a church that loves me, and even though I am still single, I have a rich and rewarding life. I know they will help you achieve your goals as well.

Endurance, Faithfulness as you can see are synonymous with these perseverance Bible verses. They all mean that God will test us at times, cause us to use our faith to be strengthened, and that we will go through hard times. However there is a promise for us if we persevere. There is a reward. Not only is the reward in heaven when we get there, but God will learn that He can trust us with the hard things. He can trust us with the important things. He can trust us with the things He holds most dear to His heart. So I would just like to encourage you to read and meditate on these perseverance Bible verses and let them sink deep into your heart. You will make it to the other side.
