Your Question:

What do I do when my body is screaming at me to stop?

Answer:

When my body is screaming at me to stop, I think about the perseverance of the blind man in Luke 18:39. He was told to be quiet, but he cried out even more because he was desperate to meet the Lord. I remember a time when I was training for a charity baseball game, and I was exhausted. My body was screaming at me to stop, but I kept pushing through because I wanted to make a good impression and raise money for a good cause.

As a pastor, I've seen people give up on their faith because they let their bodies dictate their actions. But I believe that our bodies are not the ultimate authority. Instead, we should be persistent in our pursuit of God, even when it's difficult. In my case, I didn't stop playing baseball just because my body was tired. I kept going because I knew that I was doing something for a higher purpose.

It's not about being a disturbance to others, but about being persistent in our faith. When my body is screaming at me to stop, I remind myself that it's not about me, but about serving the Lord. I take a deep breath, and I push through the pain and the exhaustion. I know that it's not easy, but I also know that it's worth it.
