Your Question:
How do I find the strength to keep going when everything feels so dark?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the darkness that's surrounding you, and I want you to know that you're not alone. As a pastor, I've walked with many people through similar struggles, and I've seen the power of God's Word bring light and hope to even the darkest of places. Remember what Jesus told us, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). The power of God within us is greater than any external force that seeks to bring us down. When we feel lost and uncertain, it's easy to give in to fear and doubt. But I want to encourage you to stand firm in the knowledge that God is with you. Don't run from the darkness, but instead, stand still and trust in His power. Remember, "the Word of God sends the Church out to meet the forces of darkness to put on the whole armor of God and stand" (Ephesians 6:11-13). As you put on the armor of God, you'll find the strength to face whatever challenges come your way. It's not about trying to find the right formula or technique to overcome the darkness; it's about drawing near to God and trusting in His sovereignty. As Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12). Let's focus on cultivating a deeper relationship with Jesus, and trust that He will give us the strength we need to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
