If we are down and out for a long time, we must stop making excuses and "get up and walk".

"One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there ... he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." (John 5:5, 6, 8 NIV)

If its been a rough week, I hope we find the courage to stand still and stand firm.

"You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.' (2 Chronicles 20:17 NIV)"

Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is to get some rest.

"In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves. (Psalm 127:2)"

I hope we are great today and help others be great also. (Genesis 12:2 NIV) "I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."

We are "well able" to finish what we've started. Don't let anyone tell you different.  "Numbers 13:30- 33 KJV: 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are WELL ABLE to overcome it. 31 But the men who had gone up with [Caleb]...spread a bad report... 33 And there we saw the giants, ... and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

I hope we see the favor of God even in the low points of our lives.

"But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. " (Genesis 39:20, 21 NIV)

I hope we are surrounded by positive and uplifting people today. "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. (Proverbs 13:20 NIV)".

I hope we try new things to help us grow. It's hard to grow with old restricted habits.
