“I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.” The Words of Moses, spoken to God from Numbers 11:14-15

When you Feel Like Giving Up Reasons why some give up on God, and what we should do when we feel that way

Because Tragedy Strikes Despite being blameless in character, and regularly offering burnt offerings on behalf of each of his children, Job lost his children, possessions, and health. Yet never gave up. Book of Job The Lord is near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:15-18 Rather than being anxious, take it to God and He will provide peace, that will guard our hearts. Philippians 4:6-7. God offers peace that nothing in the world can provide: John 14:27. When You Feel Like Giving Up

Because Someone Disappoints/Wrongs Us David and Absalom: 2 Samuel 13:1-19:8. Despite rape, murder and treason from his sons, David never gave up on God. Job: Job 2:9-10. In the midst of horrendous suffering, Job’s Wife encouraged him to “curse God and die”. His friends said he was to blame. Parable of the Prodigal Son: Luke 15: The son had left home and wasted his inheritance with wild living. When his father’s saw his son from afar, ran out to meet him….. When You Feel Like Giving Up

Hebrews 11:25 Elijah believed he was the only one remaining in Israel who had remained faithful to God. 1 Kings 19:1-18 Because the World Seems So Attractive When You Feel Like Giving Up

The world and all that is desirable about it is passing away. 1 John 2:15-17; 2 Corinthians 4:18 Even if we could gain everything the world has to offer, it still wouldn’t be worth losing our souls for it. Matthew 16:26 Friendship with the world is enmity with God. James 4:4 The wisdom of the world is foolishness with God. I Corinthians 1: Don’t be tricked by it. Colossians 2:8.
