Don’t Faint Before the Finish | Barbara Curtis on Galatians 6:9 | Pray • Wait • Believe

Feeling burned-out by money stress, grief, or family tension? Houston’s Barbara Curtis unpacks Galatians 6 verse 9—and the Greek term ekekeio (“lose heart”)—to show you how to pray, wait, and believe so you don’t faint before the finish line. What this sermon answers - What does “faint not” mean in Greek & why does it matter? - How do I stand firm when the devil wears me out? (First Peter 5 verse 8) - Why is waiting on God (Isaiah 40 verse 31) preparation, not punishment? - How can belief in God’s goodness (Psalm 27 verse 13) stop anxiety attacks? - What is a “kairos” breakthrough and how close am I? Core Points & Takeaways - Pray – Move toward God (proschukómai, Luke 18 verse 1) and swap weakness for strength. - Wait – Delays are divine prep, like David’s years between anointing & throne. - Believe – Right believing about God’s character fuels perseverance. - Stand in victory – The battle’s won; your role is to resist spiritual burnout. - Salvation call – Begin a victorious life through John 14 verse 6.
