1. Reflect on your own heritage. Are their examples of heroes in your past? Can you think of a grandparent or remember a story of a relative that showed courage in adversity? Is there a person from your church family who has helped you to learn about following the Lord by their example of faithfulness? Journal about that memory. What was it about that person that you admired?
2. Look to the stories of Scripture for an example of faithfulness in adversity. What person comes to mind? What events did they live through? What does this teach you about how to face challenges in your own life? (for some specific examples read: 1 Kings 19:1-18; Daniel 3:8-25)
