How to keep an unbroken spirit?

How to keep an unbroken spirit?

Mandela was in prison like Josepth for 20 years.

how were they able to maintain a lion like, fearless spirit, without giving in to the forces which were designed specifically to break a man or reduce him to become an animal.

Both came into prison as leaders and princes, and left prison as leaders and princes, only with more humility and wisdom.

Daniel 11:33-35 about those who are righteous but yet imprisoned at the end times,

33“Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days.

34“Now when they fall they will be granted a little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy.

35“Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

Learning that God is sovereign and mightily rules the earth but yet here i am in prison, is a tough lesson to learn. He must have some special purpose to try me, to make me pure for his comming.

How can one hope and continue to hope, becomming even stronger and stronger in hope, unless He sees clearly His invisible object of His hope clearly in heaven waiting for him?
