In times of discouragement, believers are reminded to cast their anxieties on God, who cares for them, as seen in 1 Peter 5:7. The Bible encourages perseverance, warning against growing weary in doing good, as Galatians 6:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:58 emphasize. Hard work and diligence are also valued, with Proverbs 14:23 noting that all hard work brings a profit. With confidence in God's enabling power, as expressed in Philippians 4:13, Christians can overcome lack of motivation and remain steadfast in their faith and service.

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
