Are there any circumstances or any mentors that encourages you to continue to press on and seek God? What keeps you press on to Him? For me, my love for God and a deep and a deep need of Him pushes me to press on. But it doesn't mean that it's smooth sailing, there are also rough and tough times.

My mentor passed away over a year ago, so at this time I guess what keeps me on track other than other believers is the Holy Spirit Himself.. Thank G♥d too, because I have had a really rough last few days..

well...it's my mom's teachings to me and my day to day's experiences that make me seek for Him. sometimes, i just see myself being very thankful to Him for giving me opportunities and for helping me with my problems even though i have many shortcomings. i'm very happy i have Him no matter what happens to me.

What keeps me pressing on towards God, si the Holy Spirit and also the bible. They both keep me firmly grounded. I read my bible everyday twice a day, and it draws me closer the more I read it. There are so many promises in the bible, and that is another reason I stay firmly grounded. His promise that he will never leave us or forsake us is one the best promises out there, and I know that he is with me everyday, in the good times and bad. I love him, and my life wouldn't be the same without him. Take care, and God bless you.

Yes, God sometimes speak to us through the bible. The bible really helps us be guided and be strong in our faith and love for God. If we read the bible, we learn to love God and know Him more. It also encourages us in times of tribulations. Continue to press on. God bless.

You're right, it's not always smooth sailing. Trials come and go, but the best part is that He's always there. What pushes me to press on is knowing that after the storm comes the rainbow. He makes sure we are rewarded for the good that we do and for staying on His side whatever happens.

Everything your saying are true. I so agree with you. He does reward us because of the things we do for Him, like staying by His side and never giving up in times of trouble. He never leaves us, as He said in the bible " I will never leave you nor forsake you".
