Your Question:
How do I find the strength to keep going when everything feels so dark?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of darkness bearing down on you. I've been there myself, and I've seen it in the lives of those I've counseled. But I want you to remember that you are not alone. You are a child of God, and He is greater than the forces of darkness that seek to consume you. As 1 John 4:4 says, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." Hold onto that truth, my friend. When everything feels dark, it's easy to get caught up in trying to figure out why or how to fix it. But the Word of God tells us to stand firm, not to run or panic. Instead, we're to put on the whole armor of God and stand (Ephesians 6:13-18). Remember, the power within the hearts of the children of God is what causes the kingdom of darkness to tremble. So, take a deep breath, and stand firm in the knowledge that God is with you. As a pastor, I've seen many people try to find strength in their own efforts, but it's only when they surrender to God and His power that they begin to experience true freedom. Remember, God never gives us strength for tomorrow, but only for the strain of the moment (2 Corinthians 12:9). So, take the first step, and trust that God will give you the nourishment you need to overcome. And always keep your eyes fixed on the Light, Jesus Christ, who is the source of all strength and hope.
