✨ Faith Walk: Wrestling With the Word
I’m going to be really honest here reading the Bible has been so hard for me.
I sit down with good intentions, open the pages… and then I’m immediately overwhelmed. I read a chapter, and by the end, I realize I don’t even know what I just read. I go back and reread it. Still confused. Still lost. And then the spiral begins…
I start feeling so stupid. Like, how is everyone else out here quoting scripture and “finding peace” in the Word while I’m over here Googling what just happened in Genesis?
I’ve literally broken down in tears before over this.
And the thing is I want to connect. I want to grow my relationship with God. That’s been one of my biggest goals this season. But this has been the biggest challenge on the journey. Because no one really talks about how hard the actual reading can be. The guilt, the shame, the frustration it all hits.
But recently I started listening to The Bible Recap, and wow it’s been such a blessing. It breaks things down in a way I can actually follow, and it helps me feel less alone in this process. I’ve started giving myself permission to not “get it” all at once. To trust that understanding will come with time. That God isn’t keeping score, He just wants me to keep showing up.
This walk with God is personal. Messy. Sacred. And even when it feels confusing or impossible, I know I’m not walking it alone.
