What do you do when you stayed consistent with the Lord but you fail to perform how you hoped?

That’s what johan_perez1219 asked — and it’s a question I’ve wrestled with too.

In this devotional, I open up about the 2021 Olympics…

It’s not “pray + hard work = win.”
It’s “follow Me — and I’ll make you new.”
