Your Question:
How do I find the strength to keep going when everything feels like it's against me?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're going through a tough time. It's easy to feel like everything is against you, but I want you to know that you're not alone. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with similar feelings of hopelessness and despair. But I want to remind you that God's standard for you is not based on your results, but on your relationship with Him. When we examine ourselves by our results, we can set ourselves up for discouragement and giving up. But instead, I encourage you to face your failures and repent. Confess your mistakes to God and to anyone who has been hurt by them, and change what needs to be changed. When you've applied these principles, face your failures with a right-standing relationship before God. Allow Him to put you into a right-standing relationship with Him, and don't be discouraged when He disciplines you. The key to finding strength in these moments is to give yourself spiritually, not physically. God never gives us strength for tomorrow, but only for the strain of the moment. So, take the first step, and God will give you nourishment. Overcome your own timidity and take action. Remember, faith is not based on any victory you've won, but on the Word of God. So, do what God wants you to do, whether or not you're successful. And always keep your whole life open to Jesus Christ, drawing your life from Him as your source of freshness and strength.
