Publisher's summary

What if that hard thing you’re going through is not happening to you but for you?

You’ve tried it all―saying the right words and prayers, reading the right Bible verses―but nothing seems to work. What do you do when your faith doesn’t seem to be “working” anymore?

Ashley Morgan Jackson is no stranger to this kind of spiritual exhaustion and discouragement. Much like the biblical character Jacob, Ashley wrestled with God, trying desperately to keep trusting Him despite her pain. It was here she found that sometimes God requires us to hold on to Him so we can let go of everything holding us back.

Rich with biblical encouragement, personal story, and practical application, Tired of Trying is an invitation to wrestle―and face God in your greatest fears, pains, and unanswered questions. You’ll learn to:

  • break out of the cycle of frustration by saying yes to wrestling;
  • identify the lies you are believing about God, yourself, and your circumstances and replace them with truth;
  • shift your perspective so you can choose faith, persevere, and discover God’s purpose for you.

Choosing to wrestle isn’t easy or quick―but it does have purpose. What seemingly tears us down may be an opportunity to grow. God is good at redeeming heartache. When we reach the place where the only choice is to run to God or run from Him, we can hold tight . . . because transformation and blessing will come.

Met me exactly where I was.

This book did everything right because it points you to Jesus, to God our maker and source of truth and supplier of strength.

Counseling and psychologists can point out the problems… at least the ones they are trained to see and can pinpoint, but only God can go deeper and pierce our hearts and minds with healing! He is our refuge literally our protector from spiritual warfare.

This book was so relatable and encouraging for me in my season of life. Thank you Ashley for sharing your heart and message with us!

Biblical answers.

Such a real story with real Bible answers and no false promises of an easy answer. So helpful.

Great viewpoint

The speaker dragged their voice a lot. Her story was a little dark, but I get that that’s where some people are . I enjoyed it . Glad she pulled through

The challenges the author faced

I loved loved, loved that the author was so open with her wrestle and how it has brought me insight to mine. And now I know that I do not have to be here alone and that I can find freedom.
