When You Feel Like Giving Up

Are you thinking about giving up on something important? Don’t quit until you hear Week 3 of True Virtue. We’re learning about perseverance―what it is and how to have it. This message could be exactly what you need to keep going.

    I've been trying to persevere through (to be honest) crippling doubt, anxiety, and ensuing depression, for a year now. I'm only 20, and it all feels like the end, like last night when I didn't know if I would wake up a Christian and my mom held me while I cried at midnight. I haven't been feeling Him, haven't been hearing from Him, and feel abandoned on a dark road. I have no idea where the sunlight is on this path, I have no idea where the road ends, but I just know it must end at the feet of Jesus. I am not a quitter, I never have been, and I won't quit now. Thank you, Pastor Groeschel, for reminding me to not throw in the towel or ring the bell. Jesus is not done with me yet.

    God is RIGHT beside you. You must journey inward, you must find strength and peace in the facts that he gave us. In this life, we must be ruled by what we know, not always by how we feel. That is why the bible was given to us, because it surpasses any negative emotion, and goes beyond feeling, it stands firm as fact, regardless of how we feel. The word of the Lord stands forever. And what it says, is whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!, the word says, I will never leave you or forsake you, it says God is close to the broken hearted, you may not feel it, but he is RIGHT beside you, the teacher is always silent when the student is doing a test. Let the powers that are against you, become your strength tomorrow, and I promise you this, together you will walk out of these days of darkness beside the King, and what a testimony you will have. You will be free soon. And we will pray until that day comes! Tim - LC Social Media Team

Here I am,thanks to my👩‍👧‍👦,existing only a living death sentence years now,only 3hrs.away😢.......Here in Pa.very challenging more tears instead of Hope... 60y I've never known 'homelessness'...I'm perfectly imperfect sinner Me,beyond done w/Earth.

    It isn't a coincidence, God put it there for you so you can understand something very clear, that he is WITH YOU. Don't ever feel like there isn't a purpose for your pain, we have such tunnel vision that keeps our eyes fixed on the problem and it takes the focus off of the larger solution. Sometimes God will show up in our fixed gaze, to remind us that he is there, so you can direct your vision onto him. Even though we forget, he reminds us still, and demonstrates to us clearly, how his love for us is true. He is telling you to tie a knot at the end of that rope so you can hang on as he pulls you and your friend up! In Jesus name. Amen 8 " The Lord saved me from death; he stopped my tears and kept me from defeat. 9 And so I walk in the presence of the Lord in the world of the living.

When I see people loving God and experienced God's goodness, I just ask why doesn't God do the same thing with me too? Why does I feel like God loves them more than me because He let those people experience His goodness that led them to love God with all their hearts? I also wanna love God with all my heart. But God loves me as well and He has ways just for me, to see me through and there's hope in my heart that I can't express by words.

    Don't ever think that you're a lone in saying that. There are many others suffering just like you trying to understand "why" but, the word tells us that he will never leave us or forsake us. Sometimes, WE need to change, in order for us to understand the goodness of God. We understand more often in reality, that God expects us to focus on the fact rather than the feeling. Sometimes we oversimplify the presence of God as a feeling of joy, although that is true, it is not a stimulus. The presence of God, is there whether you feel him or not. And that acknowledgement, opens up many doors for us to explore the reality associated with our problems, that allows us to feel comfortable in the midst of pain, comfort in the midst of fear, that gives us assurance that a lot of the time, to be at peace, God expects US to fix our focus on what we know, not on what we feel. Jesus said we will have trouble in this world, but God gives us a realization of ourself when we watch him work. This is a team effort, between us and him. God feeds the birds but he doesn't throw them the food, he expects them to go and get it. Likewise, we need sunlight, God has provided us the sun, but if you sit in the darkness, you're not going to benefit from it. We must find balance between the things we are asked to take control of with the resources God has given us, and between the things we cannot control and, at that, we are to surrender it to God. Sometimes, when we observe something not changing, God is sending us a message that he already gave us the strength and authority to defeat our problem. Meditate on the word, on the fact, not on the feeling, thats why it was imperative for Jesus to come in the form of the word, because feeling a lone, Is not the answer. Facts are established regardless of feeling, find peace in that, and you will find peace in the resources (bible verses) that God gave to you! Tim - LC Social Media Team
