110 | Stop Romanticizing Struggle — God Isn’t Glorified by Your Suffering

 

Key Takeaways:


🔥 1. Struggle Isn’t Holy — It’s Just Familiar

Many women grew up seeing struggle normalized.
Sacrifice became identity.
Pain became proof of faithfulness.

But Scripture does not say, “Blessed are the burnt-out.”
Jesus Himself regularly rested, retreated, and said no.
Your worth is not measured by how much you can endure.

Biblical truth:
Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest.”
Rest is not a reward — it’s a birthright.

🙅‍♀️ 2. God Doesn’t Receive Glory from Avoidable Suffering

There’s a difference between persecution for righteousness…
and suffering because we refuse boundaries, rest, or wisdom.

Many women say,
“I’m being tested,”
when actually…
you’re just overwhelmed and unsupported.

God is glorified when His daughters thrive — not when they collapse.

Biblical truth:
John 10:10 — Jesus came that you may have life abundantly, not life barely scraping by.

✨ 3. The Enemy Loves When You’re Exhausted

Exhaustion isn’t spiritual maturity — it’s spiritual vulnerability.

When you’re tired, you’re more likely to:

• Doubt God
• Isolate yourself
• Make emotional decisions
• Lose vision
• Settle for less

Burnout is not an attack from God — it’s often a lack of boundaries the enemy exploits.

Biblical truth:
1 Peter 5:8 — “Be alert and of sober mind.”
You can’t stay alert when you’re constantly drained.

💛 4. God Actually Invites You Into Ease, Rest & Renewal

God gave you:

• The Sabbath
• The Holy Spirit
• Community
• Wisdom
• Boundaries
• Prayer
• Work-life rhythm

Not so you could survive…
but so you could flourish.

Biblical truth:
Psalm 23 — He leads you beside still waters, not chaos.

🌱 5. You Are Allowed to Want Ease, Support, and Overflow

Desiring stability doesn’t make you less Christian.
Desiring joy doesn’t make you selfish.
Desiring comfort doesn’t make you weak.

You were never created to carry everything alone.
Strength and suffering are not the same thing.
Grace and grind are not synonyms.

🙌 Let’s Take Action:

✔️ 1. Identify Where You’re Romanticizing Struggle

Ask yourself:

Where am I choosing hard when God never asked me to?

What story am I telling myself about suffering?

What am I scared will happen if life becomes easier?

Write it down.

✔️ 2. Invite God Into Your Rhythm

Pray:
“Lord, show me where I’m carrying things You never assigned.”
Then listen.

He will highlight where you need:

• Rest
• Boundaries
• Delegation
• Simplicity
• Support

✔️ 3. Set One Boundary This Week

Choose one area of life or business where struggle has become your default.
Then set a boundary that protects your peace.
This is spiritual warfare — not selfishness.

✔️ 4. Declare This Truth

“My suffering is not my identity.
God is glorified when I am whole.”

Say it aloud until it sinks into your spirit.
