Perseverance: Praying through Life's Challenges

What is the "one thing" that never seems to change?

Maybe it's a habit you can't break, a relationship that remains strained, a fear that follows you everywhere, or a burden you've carried for years. In Perseverance: Praying Through Life's Challenges, award-winning author Donna Snow uses the story of Nehemiah to help you face life's persistent struggles with prayer, faith, and Christ-centered hope.

Drawing powerful parallels between Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and the spiritual challenges Christians face today, this eight-week Bible study offers a practical framework for overcoming obstacles through prayer, Scripture, Christian community, and trust in God's promises. Rather than relying on willpower alone, you'll learn how God works through His Word to strengthen, guide, and sustain you in the middle of life's battles.

With relatable stories, biblical insight, reflection questions, journaling opportunities, and leader resources, this study helps you identify your own "one thing" and develop a faithful plan for moving forward.

You will discover how to:

• Pray with confidence and purpose during difficult seasons
• Identify the challenge that continues to hold you back
• Recognize spiritual opposition and respond with God's Word
• Build a supportive community of fellow believers
• Stay grounded in faith when progress feels slow
• Persevere through setbacks with Christ-centered hope
• Develop lasting rhythms of prayer and spiritual growth

Ideal for individual study, small groups, women's ministries, and church Bible studies, Perseverance: Praying Through Life's Challenges offers a practical and encouraging roadmap for anyone facing addiction, anxiety, broken relationships, financial pressures, grief, or other ongoing struggles.

No matter how long you've carried your burden, you don't have to face it alone. Discover how God meets you in the midst of the rubble, rebuilds what has been broken, and gives you strength to keep moving forward--not in your own power, but in His.
