I often get discouraged. I feel that since I cannot please God wholly I should just give up and stop trying. But how can I give up and leave my Savior?

"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." John 6:68-69

I must let go of my ungodly thoughts and attitudes. Then I must strive towards the goal and persevere to the end. I must focus on Jesus and then everything else will become nothing in His glory.
