I am grateful that I have learned to acknowledge how I feel without thinking it makes me a weak Christian. I have talked to many sisters who have been taught to “fake it til you make it,” instead of being honest about how they really feel. Why are we faking it? Why can’t we tell someone:
- “I love God with all my heart, but today I am struggling.”
- “I know life is a gift, but today it just seems unbearable.”
- “I believe God can do it, but I’m not sure if He will.”
- “I know God gave me the spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind, but I’m still scared.”
- “I know I can do all things through Christ, but today, I just don’t know how.”
- “I know God will not give me more than I can bear, but this sure seems unbearable.”
Have you ever made any of those statements?
