7. The best motivators are encouragers 12:5 “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?” KJV “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?”

8. “This is only a test” I Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation/trial/test has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted/tried/tested beyond what you are can bear. But when you are tempted/tried/tested, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

9. Eugene Peterson “No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; He’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; He’ll always be there to help you come through it.”
