“Many others are also having the same problem. It’s normal, it’s ok.” This may be an excuse that the world uses, but not you child of God.
The Bible is full of characters who had problems but were delivered from them because of a faithful and gracious God!
Don’t identify with others to justify remaining in defeat. Instead, you can look at those who have a covenant relationship with God and expect the same blessings to be yours by the solid basis of covenant and not based something as shifting as feelings.
Abraham is our pattern for a blessed man. The Bible says that God had blessed him in all things. All means all.
Why was he blessed? It’s not because he was perfectly obedient to God. If you read his life story, he failed in major ways at times.
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness. He became righteous through faith in Yahweh, just like us who became righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.
Abraham is a blessed man because he had the gift of righteousness, and because he believed in God’s promises, even if he wasn’t perfectly obedient all the time.
Hey, this sounds like you and I! If Abraham could have the testimony that he was blessed in all things, we can have that too if we just believe in a good God.
The Bible says that we are blessed together with believing Abraham. If you see defeat in any areas of your life, don’t use the commonness of this kind of defeat as an excuse to remain in it. Expect to be blessed in all things like Abraham was because you are righteous in Christ, and whoever is righteous is a blessed person who enjoys the favor of God!
