It's hard to ...That often sounds like my life. It's hard to admit we're trying like crazy to keep it together, yet our efforts are useless. Surrender is always the way to go. When I can give it over and re-group and stop trying so hard, things usually get better.<br /><br />Why is it so hard for Christians to admit struggle? I find it interesting how people put on their happy face for church and pretend like all is great. Shouldn't our church and faith be where we take our hardship? That's what the Lord calls us to do!<br /><br />My favorite verse along these lines is Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655816614521013809noreply@blogger.com
