We should practice using the means to strengthen our faith in a trial. I like the analogy that compares a boxer, runner and athlete, as well as an apostle. Here we have been redeemed, regenerated. Our initial experience is a euphoria and joy beyond belief. We felt changed when we first went to Him, but changed because we didn't know how to fight the world, flesh and the devil. The first attack on us was a raid on a house that we thought was completely safe from the outside, but was actually infiltrated from the inside. Continued to sin, again feeling guilty, cold about our faith. Our faith is something we need to learn, grow and deepen our knowledge. We had to go through a lot of difficult times to test our confidence. Don't train to like when we are on our backs, waiting for the action to come to us. Use the means of faith to stroke the fires of inner change and the scriptures, worship and fellowship.We can say that these are our burdens. Wholeheartedly focus on everything we do. Try to focus with all my heart on the work ahead. When we pray, like a dying prayer. When we sing as loud as possible, read the Bible, we pray with all our hearts. You should be trained to get wet and meditate for a while.When we leave the gym, after a hard workout, our fingers are dragging on the floor. We could use these means for our energy so  our fingers drag on the ground less often. The apostle runs, his eyes riveted on the prize, while the runner struggles to follow, the photo being of the two of them. Struggle to exhaustion. An athlete follows the same routine in whatever sport they train.He does it over and over again, sweating and straining, and trying to be better than everyone else. He spends time training, but not a lot of time playing. This is how we should train for the six days leading up to the Sabbath day. Take the time to focus on Him Who, is the source of all good, our faith will be strong. In our trials, more focused on Him, we have to be anxious to hold on to Him.In our testing the weights almost doubled and tired of training. But we have to grab it. Meditate on his word and understand it better. Meditate on his word to practice in our relationships. Suppress the flesh and the world to suppress the devil.The gospel is the centerpiece of all that is good in life. In times of trial, pray he does not let us down. We are human, but God will forgive us for our foolishness. Go to him in trial and pour out our pain for him. Pray for a long time, but then God speaks peace.  praying for a long time. Believed God loved us and wanted to bless us. Stayed close to Him, and we didn't let Him go. Take our eyes off the test and look at the sky. Try to find relief from anxiety by bringing forth the gifts of the Spirit. Spend our time thinking about how great it would be if we felt better. Sometimes we have to drag ourselves around to awaken the spiritual gift of prayer and meditation. Feel as though we are standing against the forces of hell, as if we are being pursued by a million armies, but our attention is turned to the Sovereign Lord. Our eyes are always fixed on the sovereign Lord. May not feel like he is there, but we hope in his word, we cling to his promise, but must also strive to guide the promise in our minds in our stumbling experience and to make the promise work until we see his smile.We must have His smile.His love shed abroad in our hearts before we really know what it is to fix our eyes on our sovereign Lord.Even in the depths of despair, His word meditates on us, giving us the holding power that helps us make it to the next day.The pain we feel and release we get from the word are mixed in the hottest point of the trial but the desperation of our cries will overcome the pain. pressing the weight of our minds, not letting it rest until it becomes too much.When it starts to get too much, the weight of the physical world comes crashing down.We use these means to strengthen our faith, just like the bench press which strengthens our physical body. When you're exhausted and people around you are helping you get the last rep, you scream in pain. The love of the father is the experience of being carried by him to the point of exhaustion. The communication between the eternal power of understanding God, which speaks so deeply into our existence, beyond the ability to face the pain of God and the complex consolations of God, is a kind of spiritual mystery. Succumb and get caught up in the most intense part of the fight.
