When obedience to God feels impossible

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when God asks you to obey, but obedience feels impossible? There are moments when you know what God is asking of you, but everything in you wants to say, “Lord, this is hard.” In this episode of Jola Speaks, we continue our journey through Nehemiah and explore what happens when obedience feels impossible. Looking at Nehemiah 13, Jola reflects on how worship preceded an act of difficult obedience. She shares how worship can bring surrender, shift our focus away from the size of the task, and help us look again at the God who gave the instruction. If you've ever struggled to obey God because the next step felt uncomfortable, inconvenient, illogical or simply too hard, this conversation is for you. In this episode, you'll reflect on:  Why obedience can feel so difficult  How worship leads us toward surrender  Why our focus matters when God asks us to do something difficult  What happens when we stop focusing on the task and look back to God  How faith and obedience apply to everyday life This is part of our ongoing study through the Book of Nehemiah, as we learn what it means to grow with God and live out our faith in real life.
