## Resource

Doing God’s work does not guarantee an absence of opposition—and discouragement can bring even faithful believers to a standstill. Dr. Michael Youssef draws from Haggai’s message to Israel and Christ’s surrender in Gethsemane to encourage believers to resist distraction, regain spiritual momentum, and keep eternity in view.
