Biblical Answer

The question "What's the point of fighting when I'm so tired?" is a common response when faced with the resistance and struggles of spiritual growth and maturity. It's a question that arises from a sense of exhaustion and weariness, where the individual feels overwhelmed and defeated. The Bible reminds us that the battle for our life is fought and won in our mind (2 Corinthians 10:5), and that we can think our way into changing our life for good (Romans 12:2). However, this requires effort and perseverance, which can be daunting when we're feeling tired and exhausted.

The problem with trying to avoid the fight is that it only leads to defeat and stagnation. As the author notes, "If you're not ready to fight, you're not going to win. Once you lose the battle for your mind, you are done. Defeated." (1) This is because the enemy is always trying to outwait us, to wear us down and make us give up. But God gives us the power to fight through the Holy Spirit, and He provides us with the strength and resources we need to persevere. As Paul says to Timothy, "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 2:3).

So, what's the point of fighting when we're tired? The point is that it's a necessary part of spiritual growth and maturity. It's a battle that we must engage in order to experience victory and progress in our faith. And it's not a battle that we have to fight alone. We have the support of the church and the body of Christ, and we can call on others to help us in our time of need. As the author notes, "When you feel thoroughly exhausted, call for help. The church functions like a tag-team wrestling match." (2) So, let's not give up when we're tired. Let's press on, and seek the help and support we need to fight the good fight of faith.
