Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl,
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy view,
“We shall drown,” he cried, without more ado.
So with a last despairing cry,
He flung up his legs and said, “Good-bye.”
Quoth the other frog with a merry grin,
“I can’t get out, but I won’t give in.
I’ll just swim round till my strength is spent,
Then will I die the more content.”
Bravely he swam till it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.
On the top of the butter at last he stopped,
And out of the bowl he happily hopped.
What of the moral? ’Tis easily found:
If you can’t hop out, keep swimming round.

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (Luke 18:1, NIV)

Dear friend, keep persevering!

Remember:
EVEN THE SNAIL MADE IT TO THE ARK THROUGH PERSEVERANCE!

And didn't Jesus remind us that:

But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13, ESV)
