So...it's been a while. I know that. I've had some thoughts that I've considered posting, but haven't been all that inspired to write.
Today, I don't have much to say, but I've been pondering how the enemy uses apathy to pull us down. He's attacked us forever. Put hard circumstances into our lives, very difficult things that we fought to get through....but that's just it. We fought. We leaned on others when we lost strength, but we fought. When things come against us, something rises up in us that says, "I will not give up. I will keep fighting. I will keep praising You, Jesus. I will keep trusting You."
However, when we become apathetic, it doesn't matter. We lose our fight. We don't care. Even when we admit we've become apathetic, we can't always see a way out. I believe having others surround us in prayer is such a key to unlocking the way out. However, I don't hear much teaching on coming out of apathy. And yet, it is such a controlling thing. When we become apathetic, it doesn't matter if we're slipping away from the Lord (in our heads), because we don't care. And yet, there has to be solutions.
Thoughts? I'd love to hear them.....

I think that being alone only makes the issue worse. Plus being honest with yourself that you are feeling that way is a big step in the right direction.
I think since people are different they overcome apathy differently. However, there are some that completely loss that fight and remain stuck in a rut of apathy. For some people to over come it they need to fight and I find that people get movtivated to fight things differently. But as one peron wrote having others around and being honest with yourself makes such a big difference.
thanks for the thoughts guys!
