Your Question:
What's the point of fighting when everything seems against me?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your struggles. It's as if everything seems stacked against you, and the thought of fighting back feels overwhelming. But let me tell you, as someone who's been in the trenches of life for 46 years, I've learned that the battle is not against people, but against the spiritual forces of evil that seek to destroy us. You see, James says that the reason we fight and quarrel is because our desires are not aligned with God's will. We want something, but we don't have it, and that creates tension and conflict. But the key is to look to God to meet our needs, rather than placing demands on our spouse or others. When we do that, we can fight with a sense of purpose and direction, knowing that God is on our side. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of hopelessness and despair. But I want to encourage you to keep fighting, even when it seems like the battle is too long. Remember that the fight itself brings glory to God, and it's a sign that we're spiritually alive and engaged in the process of sanctification. So, keep your eyes on Jesus, and don't look at the battle. Keep fighting, not for victory in this life, but for the greater victory in heaven.
