This isn't a season that ends in a few weeks — it's a long road. These verses are for the long road, not just the start of it.
// the word for this moment
“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”
2 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV)
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Romans 8:18 (KJV)“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)Living with an illness that doesn't resolve asks something different of you than a short crisis does — it asks for endurance, not just a brave moment. 2 Corinthians 4:16 doesn't pretend the outward body isn't wearing down; it says so plainly. But it points to a renewal happening day by day, not someday, in the same body that's struggling right now.
