How to Handle Spiritual Setbacks
After reading a book on will power, Fr. Mike discovered an important lesson when it comes to how we handle spiritual setbacks. He noticed how resisting sin is a lot like resisting a donut when on a diet. If we resist for some time but then end up giving in and eating the donut, that doesn’t mean all of our progress in the diet is lost.
In the same way, if we resist sin for some time but then give in, the grace God offers us through confession can restore us. In fact, it can restore to even higher than we were before.
“Law came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20).
So let’s not give up when we fall into sin, but keep our eyes on heaven and God’s grace and live accordingly.
