I was watching my husband play Super Mario Maker 2 and it looked like Travis was on a very difficult level.

Enemies like goomba and fire piranha plants…..big boo and sledge brothers were all over! Mario was surrounded!!

And at first Fire Mario started off riding Yoshi. Mario had several lives left and had a power to emit fireballs at his enemies while Yoshi could tackle some of the surrounding enemies.

But after an attack from a thwomp, Yoshi immediately ran off leaving Mario to defend for himself.

Then a chain chomp crushed our hero and Mario lost his Fireball powers.

As Mario continued to try to finish the level, he had to swim under the water only to be hit by a cheep cheep.

Our hero is loosing strength with barely any lives left and only his sheer stamina and onward reliance to move him forward.

Now small Mario continues, runs, jumps and ducks until he finally finishes his race….jumping on the flagpole where fireworks congratulate him on his victory win.

I just want to remind you….

No matter the strong attack against you, no matter how many enemies surround you...keep going! You may lose strength, energy, sleep, gas, money, patience....but keep going. It's your race to run! And if you keep fighting and keep moving onward, you will see the victory (and the celebratory fireworks!)

“We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken.” – 2 Corinthians 4:9

If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you!
