I never imagined how much bringing new life into this world would rock my own! Yes, there are times it’s amazing, but there are other times I think “I can’t do this. I don’t wanna parent anymore.” Am I a bad parent for feeling that way? Will it always be like this? How do I do this and not screw them up and also keep my sanity?
I don’t know exactly what I pictured marriage would be like, but this isn’t it. There are times I don’t wanna be married to this person. Am I wrong for feeling this way? What do I do with these feelings? Am I doomed to choose between being trapped in an unfulfilling relationship or getting a divorce?
I’m single…or single again…and I dream of having that “right person” by my side, doing life together, but it’s not happening for me…or I’m single again, and now things are even more complicated. What do I do in the meantime? I feel alone at so many levels, and the culture around me seems to compound my feelings of isolation and desperation.
What does it mean to be an adult anyway? Does it always have to be so hard? What’s the point?
I believe there’s a God. I believe Jesus probably was who He said he was, but sometimes it feels harder to be a Christian than maybe it’s worth. Am I alone in this? What do I do with these feelings?
Life is filled with tests, trials and challenges. As we get older, those tests, trials and challenges only get bigger and harder, and at times, they can cause us to want to give up and drop out. So why keep going? How do we keep going? What if I don’t wanna anymore?
In the moment of decision, you’ll discover who you really are, and whose you really are.
As Christians, we’ve been called to cooperate with God, not manipulate God.
Temptation is always a test of your faith, not just your self-control. The core issue is, can I and will I trust my father in heaven?
With every temptation, there's always more at stake than you think.
