Is there still “fight” in me?

Are You Still in the Fight — or Just Coasting?

Let’s be honest — some days, you’re just tired.
Tired of fighting for your marriage.
Tired of leading your kids.
Tired of resisting temptation or trying to show up spiritually when no one notices.

And when you’re worn down, the enemy whispers:
“It’s not a big deal. Just ease off a little.”
It’s subtle. But over time, that quiet drift can lead to serious distance.

This Fight Isn’t Just About You — It’s About Legacy

“Fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

Nehemiah 4:14

Nehemiah wasn’t just stacking stones — he was rallying men to protect what mattered most.
And your fight today isn’t just for survival. It’s for your family, your future, and your faith.

Every prayer you pray, every moment you resist quitting, every time you lean in instead of checking out — it all shapes the kind of man you’re becoming and the legacy you’re building.

Here’s the danger: the enemy doesn’t need a dramatic crash to derail your influence.
He just wants you to drift. To get passive. To coast.
But brother — you weren’t built for comfort.
You were built for the battle.

And the fight still matters.

Ask Yourself:

  • Where have I checked out in the fight?

  • What am I building with my daily choices?

  • What legacy do I want to leave?

Call to Action:

  • Pick ONE area where you need to re-engage the fight: Your marriage, your kids, your purity, your discipline, your walk with God. Name it. Pray over it. Even if you’re limping — limp forward.
