Title: Re: Feel like giving up... loosing enthusiasm? Post by: guest88 on Mar 23, 2020 04:54 am dear steve, thank you for posting. god has answered my prayer, has never given up on me, but how often do i give up myself? why must i experience disinterest in pursuing my greater ideals for a time, fall short and abandon my practices? seems i have a large battle happening internally and i had almost given up. i wonder too, if this might mean there are aspects of what i am pursuing that are a falsehood since i am in conflict. the thing is, the rewarding of the external sense pleasures is not lasting happiness. having known better, why still, must i relinquish my own power? i find my rigidity hard to follow, my discipline has waned. yet now, as a result, i am on the side of longing again for closeness to god, clean eating, just living... damn this ebb and flow brother!

I find your comments so much similar to my own difficulties. What I found as a partial solution to the problem, or challenge let us say, is to take the things that take us away from God and make them into things that help you be with God closer. Sounds improbable? Or even impossible? Only because we do not use creative thinking in our challenges we face. I will continue this line of thought in another thread. Not saying I’m mr. know-it-all or even that I have the correct solution; just some interesting revelations that recently came to me. |
