Striving Ends When You Trust in the Spirit

Many believers feel stuck in a cycle of trying harder—trying to be more loving, more disciplined, more spiritual. But striving doesn’t lead to peace. In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, John Murphy shares how years of performance-based faith left him exhausted and discouraged—until he discovered the law of the Spirit of life.

At Rock House Center, we often meet clients who are sincere in their faith but secretly feel like failures. They believe in Jesus, but they’re still trying to earn peace through effort. The problem isn’t their desire—it’s their strategy. They’re living under the old law of sin and death, not the new law of the Spirit of life.

This new law isn’t about trying harder. It’s about surrendering to the Holy Spirit and letting Him lead. When we live by the Spirit, we’re no longer driven by fear, guilt, or performance. We’re led by love, truth, and peace. That’s when transformation begins.

🎧 For more on this journey, listen to the podcast God Wants Your Desire, Not Your Discipline. You’ll hear how shifting from striving to surrender opens the door to real change and lasting peace.
