Do Not Grow Weary
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Paul acknowledges real fatigue in faithful living. Doing good can feel slow and unseen. Yet he points to timing and harvest—God's economy is not immediate, but it is certain. Perseverance matters because God sees and responds.
You may be serving, forgiving, or obeying without visible results. This verse steadies you: faithfulness is never wasted. Keep sowing what is good even when outcomes are delayed. God's 'proper time' is not late; it is purposeful.

Father, strengthen me when I feel tired in doing good. Keep my heart faithful until Your harvest comes.
