Understanding Our Struggles

By Russ Pope

Have you ever had bad behaviors or negative thoughts that you wanted to get rid of, but no matter what you did, you couldn't get rid of them?

Most people can connect with this frustrating cycle. We pray, repent, surrender. We give our problems to God in all the ways we know how, but the problems keep returning, and our sense of shame and failure increase. It feels like being lost in a maze.

In Understanding Our Struggles we try make sense of this painful and confusing cycle. If we can better understand what is actually happening, we are much more likely to find solutions that work, and be able to live the abundant life that God calls us to.
