You need to choose not to lose.
Life will try to break you. People will fail you. Plans will fall apart. But you still have a choice. You can choose not to let the pain define you. You can choose not to let the past control you. You can choose to stand even when everything in you wants to collapse.
You need to choose not to lose. Because with God, you can’t.
You were never meant to fight this battle alone. He is with you in the silence. He is near in the heartbreak. He is working even when you cannot see it. Victory does not always look like winning in the eyes of the world. Sometimes victory is getting up again. Sometimes victory is praising through tears. Sometimes victory is simply not giving up.
Do not let the enemy tell you this is the end. It is not. This is a chapter. This is part of the refining. This is part of the testimony.
God is not finished. He is still writing. He is still building. He is still healing.
So breathe. Stand. Pray. Choose to believe that the pain has a purpose. Choose to trust that God’s promises are still true. Choose to remember who you are and who walks with you.
You need to choose not to lose. Because no matter what it looks like right now, the victory has already been won.
And it belongs to you.
