Your Question:
how do i find the strength to keep going when it feels like everything is against me?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling like everything is against you. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of hopelessness and discouragement. But I've learned that it's in those moments that we must turn to God and seek His strength. The Bible says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). When we feel like giving up, we must remember that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. It's easy to get caught up in examining ourselves by our results and feeling discouraged by our failures. But the Bible teaches us to examine ourselves by God's standard, not our own. When we see our failures, we must confess them to God and to those who have been hurt by them, and change what needs to be changed. This is where true strength comes from - not from trying to be strong on our own, but from surrendering to God and allowing Him to work in us. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded that God's strength is not just about feeling strong, but about being willing to take the next step in faith. When we face challenges that seem insurmountable, we must remember that our faith is not based on our successes or failures, but on the Word of God. We must focus on God and take a step that we think He wants us to take, even if it feels scary or uncertain. And as we do, we'll find that our faith grows stronger, and we'll be able to face the challenges of life with confidence and hope.
