Stop trying; start trusting. @stevenfurtick
Summary
This sermon addresses the human tendency to rely on personal effort in spiritual matters, highlighting the futility of "trying" to love God, pray, read scripture, or be kind. It emphasizes that God sees our efforts but ultimately calls us to trust Him, even when we lack the motivation. The practical takeaway is to shift from self-exertion to a posture of trust, recognizing that our trying can sometimes hinder our ability to truly depend on God.
