Your Question:
Why can't I have a normal life?
Answer:
I think I understand why you might feel like you can't have a normal life. It's because you're trying to live life on your own terms, without surrendering to God's plan for you. You're trying to control everything, and that's exhausting. But the truth is, God wants to give you your life as a prize, if you're willing to abandon yourself to Him. The problem is, we often try to live life independently, without turning our will over to God. We think we can do it on our own, but that's just not true. We're not living a holy life because we're not letting God's power flow through us. We're trying to serve the Lord, but we're not placing ourselves in the proper position for Him to work through us. It's like trying to build a trellis without a foundation - it's just not going to work. I think what you need to do is take a step back and examine your life. Ask yourself if you're living a life that's truly surrendered to God. Are you placing limitations on yourself that God isn't restricting you from? Are there areas where you're not at home with God? If so, then allow Him to work through those circumstances until you increase in Him. That's where true freedom comes from - not from trying to do it on our own, but from surrendering to God's plan for your life.
