What tendencies do we need to overcome to persevere in faith? Change away from giving up and towards perseverance. Perseverance is a critical element of faith. Perseverance is not giving up. Three ways of giving up are: quitting or walking way from God, self-destruction, and complacency or resigning to the current reality of our life. God promises that he will see us through the hardships in life, not that we won't have any hardships. Perseverance is continuing to believe that God is doing something in our life, even though we don't see any evidence that it is currently coming to fruition.
