Proverbs 24:10

"If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!"

This proverb has affected my life and attitude perhaps more than any other. It is an exhortation to courage, confidence, and perseverance. It is a bit of reverse-psychology that has rebuked me in my pity-party many times! It is saying, in essence, "Buck up! Don't let the tough times get you down." Who wants to think they're lacking in the strength to press on? Nobody. So, remember in the tough times to apply the strength you do have, get some backbone, and give up the self-doubt. Just do it.
