For those who consciously follow Christ, daily struggles take on a specific spiritual dimension. The friction isn’t just between the person and the world, but between the “old self” and the “new creation.”
Perhaps the most intimate struggle is the silence of God in the midst of a crisis. For a follower of Christ, it is agonizing to hold onto a faith that says God is good while experiencing a reality that feels cruel. The struggle is not a loss of faith, but a wrestling with God—similar to Jacob wrestling the angel—where the believer clings to God even while questioning Him.
