Your Question:
how do i find the strength to keep going when it feels like everything is against me?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your struggles. As a pastor, I've seen many people face seemingly insurmountable challenges, and I've learned that the key to finding strength is not in our own abilities, but in our relationship with God. When we feel like everything is against us, it's easy to become discouraged and give up. But the Bible teaches us that we can come away stronger because we know God's standard for what we've done, or we can see our failure and repent. It's essential to examine ourselves, not by our results, but by our motives and approach. If we find a problem, we must confess it to God and to anyone who's been hurt by it, and change what needs to be changed. This takes courage and humility, but it's the first step towards finding strength. As the Bible says, "When the Lord disciplines you like that, let Him have His way with you. Allow Him to put you into a right-standing relationship before God." (Hebrews 12:10) When we're struggling, it's easy to feel like giving up, but that's when we need to draw closer to God, not push Him away. We must remember that faith is not based on our victories, but on the Word of God. We must do what God wants us to do, whether or not we're successful. As the Bible says, "To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life" (Revelation 2:7). This means that even in the midst of struggles, we can find strength and nourishment in our relationship with God.
