Don’t Let It Leak: How to Keep Going When Life Gets Hard

Ever felt like you were doing all the right things—and still falling apart? Like you had faith, but the pressure got to you anyway?
You’re not alone. Many people have moments where life squeezes so tight, even the strongest faith starts to crack. But maybe the issue isn’t that you don’t believe. Maybe the issue is that your soul—the container—is leaking.
Your Soul is a Container
God pours out wisdom, truth, and strength. But what good is all of that if we can’t hold on to it?
The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 2:13 that God’s people made two critical mistakes:
They forgot their source.
They built cracked systems that couldn’t hold what God gave them.
We do the same. We ask for healing, then forget who healed us. We pray for peace, but let fear flood in. We cry out for purpose, then get distracted by pressure. Revelation—truth from God—is powerful, but only if your soul can hold it.
Pressure Tests Everything
John the Baptist recognized Jesus as the Lamb of God. But when he ended up in prison, his confidence cracked. He asked, “Are you really the one?”
Paul, on the other hand, also ended up in prison. But he said, “They may lock me up, but they can’t chain God’s Word.”
Same pressure. Two different outcomes.
Why? Because one had a sealed soul. The other was leaking under the weight of disappointment.
Revelation Without Retention = Temporary Inspiration
God doesn’t just want to give you “aha” moments. He wants to build lasting strength. That means your thoughts, your beliefs, and your emotions need to be healthy enough to hold what God gives you.
If you’re always leaking peace, leaking faith, leaking joy—check your soul. Check your habits. Check your mindset.
Do you hear from God but forget it by Monday?
Do you get inspired during church but feel defeated by Tuesday?
You don’t need another miracle. You need a sealed mind and a rooted faith.
Faith Doesn’t Stop the Pressure—It Holds You Through It
The enemy doesn’t just attack your behavior—he attacks your hearing. Because if he can steal your perspective, he can keep you stuck.
God isn’t asking you to fake strength. He’s asking you to build it. Revelation isn’t about hype. It’s about holding onto truth even when the world gets loud.
Final Thought: Stay Sealed. Stay Ready.
Don’t let tough seasons drain what God poured in you.
When pressure shows up, don’t forget who you are.
When doubt creeps in, don’t forget who He is.
Your job isn’t to perform. It’s to retain what’s already been revealed.
And if you feel like you’re leaking right now—God can restore you. You just have to be honest about the cracks.
