Consistency

"Stand firm. Let nothing move you."

— 1 Corinthians 15:58

Faithful Lord,

Consistency is not my strong point. I get enthusiastic about something, then my interest fades. I start projects I don't complete.

Give me the grace of consistency. To keep my commitments over time, to persevere when the initial enthusiasm has faded, to remain faithful even when it's difficult.

May I understand that great things are built over time, through small consistent efforts. Consistency is the key to accomplishment.

Amen.

Reflection

In what area do you lack consistency? How could you develop more regularity?

For all those who struggle with consistency and perseverance.
