What can lead to spiritual weariness?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual weariness can result from taking our eyes off Christ and focusing on our own abilities.

Spiritual weariness often arises when we shift our focus from Christ to our circumstances or our own performance. The preacher highlights that weariness stems from not properly resting in Christ, which ultimately points to unbelief. As mentioned in 2 Timothy 2:11-13, when we look at our own shortcomings and forget Christ's finished work, we become discouraged and weary. The story of Peter walking on water illustrates this point well: he could walk on water only as long as he focused on Jesus. The moment he shifted his gaze to the wind and waves, he began to sink. Thus, believers must constantly strive to focus on Christ's sufficiency and grace to avoid spiritual weariness.
