Your Question:
what's the use of even trying when everything seems to be going wrong?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen my fair share of struggles and setbacks. But I've learned that it's not about giving up when things seem to be going wrong. When I fail, I will seek God's guidance and wisdom to help me react by faith. I'll ask Him to help me see the situation from His perspective and to give me the strength to persevere. It's easy to get discouraged when we're faced with problems, but I believe that trouble is not necessarily a sign that we're off track. In fact, the Bible teaches that following God's way can lead to trouble, but it can also lead to profit. So, instead of getting bogged down by our problems, we should use them as an opportunity to check our guidance and consider our ways. As the Bible says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous" (Psalm 34:19). As a family man, I've seen my children face their own struggles and setbacks. But I've taught them that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. As David A. R. White says, "Everyone is going to fail from time to time, but you are only considered a 'failure' when you allow failure to defeat you." I believe that with God's help and guidance, we can overcome any obstacle and come out stronger on the other side.
