Believers everywhere are fraught with problems. It's overwhelming! One day recently I carried this to God and it went something like this, "God how can we witness to a world in darkness when we are sick, tired and walking through dark clouds ourselves?" A few days later, through providential love, I ran across this verse: "Thus in Judah it was said, 'The strength of the bearers of burdens is failing, yet there is much rubbish; and we ourselves are unable to rebuild the wall.'"
Nothing new under the sun, huh? I looked at this as a testimony of God's personal love for His own, each one of His own! And how did it go in Nehemiah, chapter four? "Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses." Bottom line: Get back to work. There is much to be done. "Our God will fight for us." (Nehemiah 4:10-20)
