My friend, I can sense the weight of struggles you're carrying. As a pastor, I've seen many people face seemingly insurmountable challenges, but I've also seen them find the strength to persevere. You see, when everything feels like it's against us, it's easy to lose sight of God's standard for us. But that's exactly when we need to examine ourselves, not by our results, but by God's Word. We must confess any areas where we've fallen short and change our approach or motives.

But how do we find the strength to keep going? The answer lies in giving ourselves to God spiritually, not just physically. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive nourishment, and our faith grows stronger. We must remember that faith isn't based on our victories, but on God's Word. We must do what He wants us to do, regardless of the outcome. And when we're defeated, we must recall the nature of the human heart, which is prone to deceit and self-deception. We must be willing to take ourselves to task and reorient our lives according to God's principles.

So, what's the first step to take? It's to decide what to do, count the cost, and pray for guidance. We must focus on God and take a step that we think He wants us to take. And as we take that step, we'll find that our faith grows stronger. We must guard our relationship with God and keep our lives open to Jesus Christ. We must recognize that our own strength is insufficient to win the victory over indwelling sin, but we have the victory through Jesus Christ. When we gratefully appropriate that victory, we'll find the strength to keep going, even when everything feels like it's against us.
