Your Question:

can i really afford to keep fighting?

Answer:

I can relate to feeling exhausted and wondering if it's worth continuing to fight. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with addiction and depression, and I've been there myself. It's easy to feel like giving up when the battle seems too long and the pain is too great.

But I've learned that I don't have to fight alone. God gives us other people to support us, and I've been blessed with a wonderful wife, Susan, and two great kids, Joshua and Rebecca. When I feel exhausted, I can call on them for help, just like the church is a team effort. We can lean on each other and carry each other's burdens. It's not about being strong or independent; it's about being vulnerable and asking for help when we need it.

In fact, I think that's one of the most important things I've learned in my 19 years of marriage: that I don't have to fight my battles alone. I can go to God and ask for His help, and I can also ask for help from my fellow believers in the church. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. And when I'm feeling tired and unsure, I can remind myself that God is with me, and that He will give me the strength I need to keep going.
