Hey Jude!

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life
Jude is only one chapter long, although in this chapter he encourages us to keep going. He wants us to persevere. In these few verses Jude is telling us to build our faith up. To continue praying in the Spirit. In a nutshell he's telling us to make sure that we are close to God.
I know this is obvious, but we do need to make sure that we are close to God. Without His guidance we can do nothing. We'll keep going for a while, but nothing will come of it as we need His Strength to help us to get through. 
I know from personal experience that when I work in my own strength, things don't go to plan. The difference happens when I rely on God, when I tune into His frequency, then amazing things happen not only in my life but in the lives of others.
It may be that you are struggling with something. Hand it over to God and allow Him to work through that situation. We need to keep going, we need to make sure that we totally rely on God, we need to go through the hard times with our heads held up high, because we are sons and daughters of the Living God. Let's persevere and contend for our faith today, making sure that we rely on the one who is above all others - Jesus.
