Dear Car ,
When we are weak in our faith , our desire to serve the Lord is weak also .
But all it takes is enough faith to believe that our Heavenly Father Loves us and Knows what's Best for us .
Did not Jesus clearly demonstrate this by suffering and dying on The Cross , so that we might be spared the condemnation of the Devil and the ensuing Wrath which is to come ?
Do something for the Lord - do what is most clearly His Word , His Will , His Wisdom ; no matter how small , just do it - even if you don't feel much motivation from within . Because the motivation to serve The Lord Jesus comes largely from experiencing the Blessedness which we receive after applying the faith He has given us .
This is a form of " proving " which is free of the many pitfalls that are found in attempting to see , what it is exactly , that God disapproves of , and why ?
Of the Patriarch Abraham , it is said " Who against hope believed in hope " <---> From Romans 4:18
Sometimes we must move forward in our hope towards God , while there is yet no confirmation within our self , that our hope is going to bring peace and fulfillment , the likes of which , none other can !
And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen . <-----> Mark 16:20
Consider these things , and the Scriptural advice many have labored to share with you , without any selfish gain to be had , only the hope , that you will be greatly assisted in the Way which is Right and True ; that Jesus will be magnified , and our faith and hope in God will grow purer and stronger ; together , as the grateful children of Christ's Heavenly Kingdom .
May you be guided By the Light of the counsel of God's Word .
Give place to beholding and reflecting upon Jesus' Testimony .
And invite His Life Giving Spirit into each and every moment of your day .
For in this does our Salvation elevate and invigorate , what is otherwise a vain and/or mundane , ever so brief , existence .
"... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. <-----> John 10:10
May The Lord Bless ,
