Biblical Answer

The point of trying is not to achieve an impossible goal, but to be faithful in the midst of struggles. When we feel overwhelmed and hopeless, it's easy to give up and refuse to try again. However, this is not the Christian way. As Paul writes in Romans 7:19, "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do is what I do." This is not about trying harder or achieving perfection, but about being faithful in the midst of our struggles. As Jesus teaches in the parable of the persistent widow, we are called to persevere in prayer and faith, even when it seems like nothing is happening (Luke 18:1-8).

The idea that we must try harder to achieve our goals is a humanistic approach that ignores the sovereignty of God. We often think that we must solve impossible problems or achieve unattainable goals, but God calls us to tasks that are smaller and more ordinary. He calls us to look around and be faithful with what is directly in front of us. This is not about being passive or complacent, but about being faithful and trusting in God's sovereignty. As the Bible says, "For with God nothing will be impossible" (Luke 1:37). This means that we can trust God to work in our lives, even when things seem impossible.

So, what's the point of trying when everything feels so impossible? The point is not to achieve an impossible goal, but to be faithful in the midst of struggles. When we feel overwhelmed and hopeless, it's easy to give up and refuse to try again. However, this is not the Christian way. We are called to persevere in prayer and faith, even when it seems like nothing is happening. This is not about trying harder or achieving perfection, but about being faithful in the midst of our struggles. As the Bible says, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). This means that we can trust God to work in our lives, even when things seem impossible.
