“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’” — C.S. Lewis
Lewis’s honesty dismantles the myth that faith should feel extraordinary at all times. As a young adult, you might feel pressure to have a vibrant, Instagram-worthy spiritual life. But real faith is often lived in the mundane—late-night study sessions, awkward conversations, or quiet moments of doubt. Lewis assures you that these struggles don’t disqualify you but draw you closer to God.
In a culture that celebrates the spectacular, embracing the ordinary takes courage. It’s tempting to chase spiritual highs or compare your faith to others’. Yet, God meets you in the everyday, in your tears and your small acts of obedience. The Christian life is less about mountaintop moments and more about faithful steps in the valley.
When discouragement hits, don’t hide from God—run to Him. Pour out your heart, trusting that He hears your cries. Your ordinary faithfulness is a testimony to His sustaining grace. Never forget—you are loved and you are not alone.
