Give up?

Have you ever wanted to just give up on everything? Does it feel like no matter what you do all that happens is you get worse off than you were the day before? I seem to have this feeling a lot lately. Sometimes I want to just run away from all of my problems and responsibilities in this world and never look back. I want to just hide from everyone and everything. It seems like sometimes it would be much easier to do that than to try and deal with and fix all of the problmes we face each day. Now I know that that is not the right thing to do and that is why I have never done that. I stand as strong as I can and try to do what I need to do to get things done the right way. The only reason I stand is because of Christ. If he were not holding me up and pushing me forward I would fall flat on my face and I would be a pathetic waste of existance. Luckily I have been blessed with the gift of knowing and growing close to my creator. This alone is the reason I breathe. Nothing in this world and I mean absolutely nothing is nearly as important as him. I could care less about making money, or having a sweet car, I just want to do my best while im on this planet to love God with my whole heart and soul and nothing else. But still for some reason the desire to get away from it all is still here. Why is that? Does anyone know?

You are human, dude.

Reread the story of Zaccheus in Lk 17! Your standing up is why that is my most favorite story in the New Testament.
