Are you exhausted from trying to keep up with the "perfect" Christian molded routine? In this message, we unpack how modern Christianity has overly structurized our faith, leaving many believers trapped in an exhausting cycle of secret guilt and shame. We slam on the gas pedal, rushing through Bible reading frantically, and rattling off rapid-fire prayers just to feel a temporary sigh of relief of keeping up. We've accidentally equated breakneck speed with true devotion. There lives within a feeling of always letting God down.
But what about when life hits hard? For those battling chronic illness or burnout, this rigid structure creates an entirely different dimension of suffering. It also sets everyone up for failure. Through Christian maturity, we discover this is NOT how Jesus wants us to live. Ironically, the very rituals we use to get closer to God can become walls that distance us from Him. God doesn't want you to sprint; He wants you to exhale.
Even in the darkest circumstances imaginable, Anne Frank found a profound deep connection to the Creator. She beautifully wrote: "The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God."
It is time to unstructure your faith. Step outside, slow down, and let the Lord minister to you through His awesome creation. Let Him speak to you. Allow Him to fill you with new breath, peaceful quiet, and genuine joy that gives you wings like an eagle.
"I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.”
