Your Question:
Why do I feel like I'm just going through the motions?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling like you're just going through the motions. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this feeling, including myself. It's like you're just going through the motions of life, but not really living. It's a feeling of emptiness and hopelessness, like you're stuck in a rut and can't get out. I think what's happening is that you're falling into the trap of the 57 Depression: Looking Up from the Stubborn Darkness. You're feeling hopeless and trapped, and you're not taking the necessary steps to break free. You're not choosing to take action, to seek help, or to seek God. You're just existing, going through the motions, and waiting for something to change. But the truth is, change won't come until you take action. As someone who's struggled with feelings of emptiness and hopelessness, I can tell you that it's not easy to break free. But it's not impossible either. You have to be willing to take yourself to task, to seek help, and to seek God. You have to be willing to do something, even when you don't feel like it. That's what I've learned as a pastor, and that's what I've learned as a Christian. It's not about feeling like doing something, it's about doing it because of Jesus. It's about choosing to love, even when you don't feel like it.
