One Minute Longer

"Heroism consists of hanging on one minute longer." Albert Payson Terhune.
It's really hard to wait,  to hang on, to "keep hope alive" when things are tough.  After you've done all that you could do, or even when you haven't,  hanging on is hard.  After a while your thoughts become a little more negative and hope seems a little  farther away. The idea of God starts to get a little foggy. John 16:33 reminds us "in this world there will be tribulations,  distress and suffering, but be courageous, confident, undaunted and filled with joy, for I have overcome the world. " in the first part of this warning Jesus  says. "These things I tell you so that you may have perfect peace."
His victory is our victory,  so hang on one-minute -longer.
