Life has a way of wearing you down so much that you stop trusting
God. What are some reasons you feel like giving up? Do they include any
of the following?
- Have you experienced too many failures or rejections?
- Do you feel worth less than others?
- Do you feel not needed or not wanted?
- Do you feel tired, lost, or confused?
- Does your existence seem pointless?
You might not think of yourself as depressed, but if you answered yes
to any of those questions, then you are experiencing some form of
discouragement. When your burden becomes too great, you’ll naturally
consider giving up. Feeling like you want to give up should throw a red
flag for you.
