Revisit - Before They Learn How to War, They Need to Learn How Not to War
August 22, 2021
Have you ever felt tired… not just physically, but spiritually?
Like you’re doing all the right things—pressing in, pushing through, trying to stay faithful—
and yet something still feels heavy?
Sometimes, we assume it means we need to do more.
Pray harder. Fight stronger. Try again.
But what if that’s not always true?
Recently, Sara was reminded of something unexpected in the middle of a very long, draining process—
trying to finish something she knew she was called to complete, but struggling every step of the way.
And in that moment, a simple sentence cut through the noise:
“Before they learn how to war, they need to learn how not to war.”
It stopped her.
Because not all struggle is meant to be fought the way we think.
In this week’s post, “Before They Learn How to War, They Need to Learn How Not to War”, she shares what happened in that moment—
and how it shifted the way she understood effort, obedience, and even spiritual warfare itself.
If you’ve been feeling stretched, weary, or like you’re carrying more than you should…
this may reframe things for you.
