Biblical Answer

When everything feels like it's against you, it can be challenging to find the strength to keep going. However, the Bible teaches us that our strength comes not from dealing with obstacles, but from God's ability to move them as we pray and trust Him (2 Corinthians 12:8). In fact, the more we exercise our faith through prayer and trust, the stronger we become (Hebrews 4:14-16). It's essential to recognize that our strength is not in our ability to control outcomes or deal with obstacles, but in our relationship with God.

To find the strength to keep going, we need to engage in spiritual exercise, which involves confessing our sins, asking Jesus Christ to pull the arrows out, and taking back our freedom and control over our thoughts and emotions (Psalm 51:10). We must also learn to pray, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:13, KJV), and practice conversational prayer to develop a deeper relationship with God. By doing so, we can move from a place of defeat to a place of victory in our lives. The Enemy may try to go after our minds with fear, despair, or rage, but we can resist his voice by choosing to live with tension and learning to manage it (2 Corinthians 10:5).

In addition to spiritual exercise and prayer, we need to recognize that our strength is not in our abilities or accomplishments, but in God's ability to use our weaknesses for His glory (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). When we're struggling, it's essential to look beyond our present troubles and see the potential for growth and transformation. By trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness, we can find the strength to keep going, even when everything feels like it's against us. As Jesus said, "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). We can choose to trust in His strength and find the courage to keep moving forward, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties.
