Achieve God’s Goal

Have you ever wondered how believers like Moses kept going when they felt overwhelmed—or how Paul stayed steady when criticism, threats, and hardship pressed in?

In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses discouragement head-on and reminds you that even great heroes of the faith faced deep disappointment. Paul certainly knew what it meant to feel pressure—even the threat of death—yet he refused to quit because his eyes were fixed on Jesus, his source of strength and unshakable hope.

When you’re doing what God has called you to do, the world and the enemy often push back. But this devotional will encourage you to resist the voices of harassment, refuse to give up, and remember that God’s definition of victory isn’t worldly fame or financial success—it’s faithful obedience.

Dr. Youssef also points you to the reality of an eternal inheritance—a reward kept in heaven—and the “crown of life” promised to those who love the Lord. If you’ve been tempted to quit, this episode will help you trade short-term discouragement for long-term perspective and renewed courage to proclaim Christ’s love and forgiveness to a dying world.

Prayer: Father, help me look to You—my utmost treasure—when I am facing discouragement and disappointment. You are my very great reward, and I know I have nothing to fear because You have overcome the world. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
