When You're Too Exhausted to Fight

Feeling Exhausted? You're Not Alone

When you feel too exhausted to fight, it's essential to remember that God gives you other people so that you don't have to fight alone. The church functions like a tag-team wrestling match, where each member supports and helps one another in their spiritual battles. It's okay to ask for help when you're exhausted, and it's crucial to remember that your source of power lies in God. You have no right to complain, for He saved and sanctified you to exhaust you. Be exhausted for God, but remember that He is not exhausted. The harder you fight, the more the quicksand weighs you down, but when you give yourself to Him, you become strengthened.

The Importance of Spiritual Exercise

It's essential to remember that spiritual exercise is necessary to grow in your faith. Just as a soldier must get in shape to fight hand-to-hand combat, a Christian must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3). If you want victory, you have to be ready to fight. If you're not ready to fight, you won't win. Once you lose the battle for your mind, you're done. Defeated. To fight effectively, you must get in shape spiritually. This means being consistent in your spiritual practices, such as prayer, Bible reading, and worship. The more you exercise your faith, the stronger you'll become.

Prayer and Trust in God

When you're too exhausted to fight, it's crucial to remember that your part of the fight is to pray. God actually fights the battle (Exodus 14:14). Remember that your fight is not with your child, but with the devil. He is your enemy, not your child. Stand firm in your faith, and trust in God's sovereignty. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and don't look at the battle. Faith always takes the long look beyond the grave. So keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and engage the battle. Separate from the object of your affections, and trust in God's power to overcome. With God on your side, you can overcome any obstacle, no matter how exhausting it may seem.
