Hang On To What You Have

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 26, 2025

Faith is sustained not by intensity or perfection, but by hanging on to Christ’s grace when pressure, disappointment, and weariness pull at our trust.

He didn’t start out confused. He started out in love. You remember what that feels like—when faith is simple, when obedience feels like joy instead of effort, when the future seems open because God is clearly ahead of you. Prayer is natural.
