Feeling down.

[StillGods]

I feel like such a useless Christian.
Just feel like that.
Having a rough week though.
Failing a lot.

 

[Tolworth John]

You are not alone, even the apostle Paul wrote, ' I do the Evil I don't want to do and don't do the good I want to do.'

Hang in there we are not graded on how well we 'feel' or think we did but by how well Jesus knows we did.

There is a big difference between what we think we've done and how Jesaus sees us holding on.

Often that is all we have to do, 'having done everything to continue to stand'.

As Tolworth said just above. And, we can't make the world good, but instead He has overcome the world and listening to Him and trusting Him we will overcome, leave behind, the wrongful and empty pursuits of the world by following Him, the only good, the way, the truth, the Life.

 

[Jeshu]

i get that feeling often too. Especially when i see how much time i waste just sitting in my chair to depressed to do anything.

It is hard to trust in Jesus when all we can do is have faith in His goodness without anything else on offer.

So thankful that God rewards us for having faith in Him rather than for running around doing all kind of things for Him. The doers among us hate God's free offer of salvation and lay down all kind of stipulations again which must be met before we can be saved, but Scripture simply says all who call on his name will be saved.

i try and have faith in His love and know that such is good enough for Him. Fighting my depressive lies with His truth is a worthwhile exercise though for He keeps me in His care 24/7 that way.

Peace.

Life has ups and downs and whoever said it was easy. Jesus said that we will have troubles. That is guaranteed. But we have a God who walks alongside us and never abandons us. We just need to focus on Him so that we will get encouraged and refreshed. I use feelings like these to draw closer to the Lord. But we should never feel useless. Do not gauge your usefulness by the concrete things you do or the measurable output that you think He is using. You are already worth a lot to Him and very much valued. As long as you believed and obeyed and tried to live a life as the Bible teaches, then you are not useless. If you failed as you said, then go back to Him because He is always ready to forgive your sincere repentance. I hope you will feel better, brother.
