God has a purpose for your struggles!
Have you found yourself asking God, "Why am I going through this? What is the point of all of this?! Is there something I am to learn from this craziness?"
Struggle is a part of life--most often a very frustrating part of life. Struggle is a part of your development as a mature human being, and moreover, a critical part of your development as a Christian. Your struggle can take on many forms.
Conflict with a family member, much like Jacob and Esau.
Facing the dire consequences of a personal decision, like Jonah.
Standing alone against a mob, like Elisha.
Speaking to power for the sake of others as Esther did.
Facing a giant in life as David did.
"God, I'm Struggling" is about struggle-but it is not about the struggle to believe in God, or the struggle to accept Jesus as your Savior. This book is about deepening your understanding of the purpose of your struggles in life and the lessons to be learned from the crises you experience.
Through a survey of 15 biblical characters and their experience with challenges, you will
· Reflect upon a full range of life struggles experienced in scripture.
· Understand the nature of God as revealed in the struggles of Biblical characters.
· Clarify who you are spiritually as you face your challenges.
· Apply lessons learned from the study of the characters to your personal struggles.
· Be equipped to help others in their personal struggles in life.
When we recognize God's fingerprints in the details of our life, we become better equipped to face and overcome life's challenges. And as we overcome, we learn the lessons that God intended us to learn. It is only then that we can truly begin to live with impact.
