Man, I have really been struggling lately… As I sit here to write this, I am just thinking about all the hard times that I have been having. I’m thinking about all the things I keep failing at and my struggles that I’m not happy or proud of.
I keep having the same struggles over and over but why? I have talked to God and prayed about them many times, but it doesn’t seem to help but only for a short amount of time, I have come to realize that I’m the problem. It’s not the devil and it’s definitely not God. It’s me! In the Bible we are told we are going to face hardship and temptation in this life coming at us but it up to us to stand strong and ask for Gods help and trust Him. So really, I haven’t been doing that very well I have been ignoring which is not okay.
Let’s Move Past
The only way we can move past and overcome is to actually try and put in the effort and call on God always. When we do mess up, we ask for forgiveness and try harder than before. God gives us all grace and new mercy every day we just have to except and turn away from whatever it is that’s not like Jesus. I know from experience it is hard I will do good for a bit then they start creeping back in and I start thinking about them instead of right then asking God for help and giving it to Him. God want us to tell him our struggles and shortcoming even though he already knows them. By talking with each other and sharing is how you build a relationship and that is what God truly want from us.
We need to stay rooted in God word by reading daily and studying because the Bible is our guide in this world. Also know you are never alone; you are not the only one that keeps having struggles we all do and its okay we just have to rely on Gods strength and not our own. Remember God grace is greater than our failures. The devil wants us to feel bad and give up because he wants us, but Gods love never changes, he always has and always will love us, but we need to show him that same love. We need to trust Him and obey his word and turn from things that are not good.
Victory is Possible Through Christ
While we may struggle, we are not defeated. Through Jesus, we have the power to overcome. The Christian life is not about never failing—it’s about continually turning back to God, growing in faith, and allowing Him to refine us.
If you are struggling, don’t give up. Keep seeking God, leaning on His grace, and trusting in His power to transform your life. Your failures do not define you—your identity in Christ does.
