Going through a rough period of time where I feel I’m second guessing my commitment to our faith. It gets so hard to keep going when it seems just letting go would be easier. Any advice fishies?

Having no faith is not easier. Don’t fall for that lie

This is when it counts the most.
Mark 9:23-24
Take it to Jesus. He can handle your doubts. Then choose faithfulness. Watch what happens.

Do you have a group of brothers or sisters you gather with regularly? I’m in a weekly group of guys at largely similar place in life that meets weekly for breakfast and bible study and stays in touch daily on an FB group. Helps a lot to strengthen on the tough days and support each other.

It is hard. I’d say the times we’re living in don’t help. But I personally feel we have a responsibility to choose hope. It’s like a muscle. Not easy to get it moving, but rarely does one regret having done it. If possible, I would focus on the choice, rather than the commitment. When I choose faith...I tend to see the world differently.

Remember what you have faith in...Christ and his promise of eternal happiness once we’ve navigated the storms of this life. Giving up on your faith would mean giving up much too much. Wishing you a blessed Christmas!

Stop striving! Know that apart from God you are dead! Just tune into the Spirit of God and let him work through you! You’ll feel less burdened knowing that there is literally NO THING you can do to move the issues of your life, so why try? This mindset has changed my life in the past couple of years Rest in Him! Wishing you much love

Do you want death or life? Spiritually AND LITERALLY? Answer that and you’ve answered your own question

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.
