Your Question:
what's the point of even trying anymore?
Answer:
I've been in ministry for a while now, and I've seen people give up on their faith when things get tough. But I believe that's exactly when we need to dig deeper and trust in God's goodness. It's not about trying harder, but about trusting harder. When we feel like we can do nothing, that's when we're supposed to hand it all over to Christ and let Him do the work. It's easy to get discouraged when we feel like we're not measuring up to our own expectations, or when we see others succeeding in their faith while we're struggling. But the truth is, it's not about us. It's about seeking to please God, not just in our actions, but in our attitudes and motivations. It's about keeping our eyes fixed on Him and our primary goal constantly in front of us. As a pastor, I've seen people give up on their faith because they feel like they're not good enough. But the truth is, we're not good enough on our own. That's why we need Christ. And it's not about stopping trying, but about stopping trying in our own strength and starting to trust in His. When we do that, we'll find that we're able to overcome even the toughest temptations and challenges.
