Biblical Answer

The human experience is often marked by uncertainty and imperfection. We are all limited by our circumstances, genetics, and the choices we make. Our freedom is not absolute, and we must acknowledge that our desires and will are not the only factors at play. This reality can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and despair. However, it is in these moments of weakness that we are called to seek God's sovereignty and guidance.

The Bible teaches us that true freedom and happiness come from living a life that is surrendered to God's will. This means acknowledging our limitations and trusting in His sovereignty. As the apostle Peter writes, "Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, charity" (2 Peter 1:5-7). This passage emphasizes the importance of developing a strong spiritual foundation, which is essential for navigating life's challenges.

In seeking a normal life, we must first come to terms with our own limitations and weaknesses. We must acknowledge that our desires and will are not the only factors at play, and that God's sovereignty is greater than our own. By surrendering to God's will and trusting in His guidance, we can find true freedom and happiness. As the psalmist writes, "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living" (Psalm 27:13). May we learn to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even in the midst of uncertainty and imperfection.
