When
Ordinary Faith Meets Extraordinary Pressure
You do not have to wear a title, hold
a microphone, or have a platform to need resilience.
You just have to wake up, follow Jesus, and keep showing up.
If you are navigating life with faith
in one hand and pressure in the other, this is for you.
You are the everyday warrior.
The one who keeps going when it would be easier to quit.
The one who prays even when the answers are slow.
The one who pours out, shows up, and stands firm—quietly, consistently,
sometimes tearfully.
That is holy grit.
And you are walking in it more than you realize.
Be Resilient on Purpose.
What
Is an Everyday Warrior?
An everyday warrior is not someone
with superhuman strength.
It is someone who lives with supernatural surrender.
- You clock in and clock out, yet you carry
spiritual weight.
- You encourage others while managing your own
unseen battles.
- You read Scripture in between meetings, errands,
or caring for others.
- You fight for your peace, your family, your
mind—without applause.
You are living a life that is deeply spiritual,
even if it looks ordinary.
Where
Grit Shows Up in Your Day
🔹 In the Middle of the Mundane
Washing dishes. Answering emails.
Holding boundaries. These small acts of faithfulness build spiritual muscle.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all
your heart, as working for the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23
🔹 In the Quiet Acts of Forgiveness
Forgiving that same person for the
hundredth time? That is grit.
“Love keeps no record of wrongs.” — 1 Corinthians 13:5
🔹 In Choosing Prayer Over Panic
You paused. You prayed. You let God
in. That is spiritual resilience.
“Do not be anxious… but in everything
by prayer…” — Philippians 4:6
🔹 In Showing Up When You Do Not Feel Like It
To church. To work. To serve. To
parent.
You keep showing up. That is grit.
“Let us not grow weary in doing good…” — Galatians 6:9
The
Lies Everyday Warriors Face
Even the most committed believers can
be tempted by these thoughts:
- “What I do does not matter.”
- “No one sees the effort I give.”
- “I am not as strong as other people.”
- “If I were really faithful, this would feel
easier.”
These are not the voice of God.
These are lies sent to make you question the spiritual value of your daily
walk.
But Scripture reminds us:
“God is not unjust; He will not forget
your work and the love you have shown Him…”
— Hebrews 6:10
Your faithfulness is not wasted. It is
recorded in heaven.
How
to Strengthen Your Holy Grit
1.
Reconnect with Purpose
Why do you keep showing up? Because
God called you to.
Go back to your “why” and let it fuel your daily obedience.
2.
Create Small Sacred Spaces
Even 5 minutes with God can realign
your whole spirit.
Open your Bible before your phone.
Pause in prayer before your response.
3.
Speak Life to Yourself
You are not being dramatic. You are
carrying weight.
Remind yourself:
“I am anointed for this.”
“God sees me.”
“Obedience is enough.”
“My value is not in the visible.”
4.
Celebrate the Wins Only God Sees
The moment you chose kindness over
retaliation? Victory.
The night you prayed instead of spiraling? Victory.
The act of integrity when no one was watching? Victory.
Where
This Shows Up in the Holy Grit Plan
The 12 Months of Holy Grit plan
was made for people just like you:
You are not overlooked.
You are deeply known.
And the daily choices you make in faith are eternal seeds.
Final
Word: You Are Not Just Getting Through This—You Are Growing Through It
Holy grit for everyday warriors is not
about being strong all the time.
It is about choosing faithfulness over feelings, one surrendered step at
a time.
So if no one else tells you today:
You are doing better than you think.
Your quiet obedience is building something eternal.
And heaven sees your holy grit.
