70 pounds feels a lot heavier when you are battling depression and anxiety. You fight with everything you have just to lift the weight. It's nothing compared to the weight you're carrying inside. The voices in your head keep saying just let it go. Try again tomorrow. But then you remember Phil 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
You begin to push yourself through each rep. Determined to finish your set. Your heart is racing, sweat is running down your face and you use all you have to get those last few reps in.
When you're finished you feel a sense of peace and calm. You notice that voices have silenced themselves.
Those voices come when we are feeling weak. Their goal is to pull us farther and farther away from God. It's on us to shut them up and get ourselves back on track and put the work in to strengthen ourselves and our faith.
