Summary

What if that hard thing you’re going through is not happening to you but for you?

You’ve tried it all―saying the right words and prayers, reading the right Bible verses―but nothing seems to work. What do you do when your faith doesn’t seem to be “working” anymore?

Ashley Morgan Jackson is no stranger to this kind of spiritual exhaustion and discouragement. Much like the biblical character Jacob, Ashley wrestled with God, trying desperately to keep trusting Him despite her pain. It was here she found that sometimes God requires us to hold on to Him so we can let go of everything holding us back.

Rich with biblical encouragement, personal story, and practical application, Tired of Trying is an invitation to wrestle―and face God in your greatest fears, pains, and unanswered questions. You’ll learn to:

  • break out of the cycle of frustration by saying yes to wrestling;
  • identify the lies you are believing about God, yourself, and your circumstances and replace them with truth;
  • shift your perspective so you can choose faith, persevere, and discover God’s purpose for you.

Choosing to wrestle isn’t easy or quick―but it does have purpose. What seemingly tears us down may be an opportunity to grow. God is good at redeeming heartache. When we reach the place where the only choice is to run to God or run from Him, we can hold tight . . . because transformation and blessing will come.

Simple and encouraging book for anyone experiencing a period of doubt in their faith

I was draw to reading this book after completing the YouVersion bible plan of the same name, it seemed that Ashley’s experience of shame and alienation when struggling in her faith resonated with me.
I found this book very encouraging as Ashley recounted her story of how she wrestled with God when she was no longer able to ‘perform’ her faith.
I appreciate that through her story she was honest that our wrestle with God during these periods of upheaval in our faith can take weeks, months or even years before we come out through the other side. Through the story of Jacob and his wrestle with God we see that in learning to surrender and trust in Him we are able to leave the difficulty of battling with Him with a new name, a new identity and ultimately a more intimate and effective relationship with Him.
