Yesterday I have another reminder through analogy. I shared that yesterday I felt the anxiety and could not concentrate. Was the work too hard? No, but it seems there is no excitement. So the reply back was since when we always need excitement to work. Work is not always fun. We do things because it is the right thing to do and not because we are excited or feel good about it.
The analogy was on the dishes. Do we wash the dishes because we feel good? Not necessary. We wash because otherwise it stinks. Or even if it does not stink, it will pile up if we do not wash them.
So likewise, I need to tell myself that regardless of my feeling, I still need to do the work whether in office or at home. This is in line with the truth that we need to depend on God's Word and not our emotional outlook.
I am not sure how, but this is not a matter of understanding. This is a matter of repeated practice on how we resist the urge to flee and being persistent on the item that we need to follow up on.
So have faith, ready to be hurt of falling and be courageous to get back up every time I fall.
