Why does life feel so hard?

In this message from Pastor Brandon Lindell, we see from James 4:1–6 that the battles around us often reveal a deeper war within us, rooted in selfish desires and friendship with the world. Our prayer is that as God exposes what is causing conflict, you would respond with humility, repentance, and receive the greater grace He gives to those who come back to Him.
