2 Bible Verses about Struggles

Some people go through their entire life and seem to struggle all the way.  Choices are sometimes made that lead to a path of turmoil and pain.  I think if we are honest with ourselves, we all would have to admit to this struggle.  The Bible often talks about this struggle in the midst of spiritual warfare.  And the truth of the matter is that we will often bring this struggle upon ourselves by not seeking the Lord with choices and decisions in our life.  It is often a repeating cycle of one bad choice leading to another.  Scripture is so helpful in this matter and shows how we need to completely rely on God and not to follow the foolish wisdom that comes with listening to our society or our culture.  Until the return of Christ, we will always have the battle with the flesh (the Apostle Paul uses this wording) but we must not let it consume our lives but turn to the unlimited power source of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  Consider the following…

Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)  “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”


1 John 4:4  “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.”
