Your Question:
How do I keep going when it feels like I'm drowning?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and like you're drowning. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with similar feelings. It's as if the weight of the world is bearing down on them, and they don't know how to keep going. But I believe that's where faith comes in. It's not about being strong or having all the answers; it's about trusting in something greater than ourselves. For me, getting out of this feeling of drowning means getting to the depths of God. It means taking time to pray, meditate, and listen for His voice. I find that when I'm feeling sluggish, it's often because I've stopped doing something I knew I should do. So, I try to examine where I've become stagnant and take steps to get back on track. It's not about being perfect, but about being intentional and seeking God's guidance. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I remind myself that it's okay not to have all the answers. In fact, it's often in those moments of uncertainty that I'm forced to trust in God more deeply. It's not about trying to be safe or holding on to what's familiar; it's about being willing to take the leap of faith and trust that God will catch me. And when I do take that leap, I find that I'm able to breathe again, to look beyond what's right in front of me, and to see the world in a new light.
