Have you ever noticed how there are seasons in life when you don’t feel like you’re really thriving… mostly you’re just trying to make it until bedtime?

I mean, you still love Jesus. You still believe He’s good. But if you’re being honest, you’re running on fumes.

Maybe you’re carrying grief that doesn’t seem to get lighter..

Maybe your marriage feels strained.

Maybe your finances have become overwhelming.

Or maybe nothing catastrophic has happened at all - you’ve just been carrying so much for so long that your soul is tired.

I think sometimes Christians feel guilty admitting that.

We hear messages about victory and overcoming, and while every one of those promises is true, we quietly wonder, “What if today I don’t feel victorious? What if today I’m just… coping?”
