Weary of Withholding

 • Grant Perry • Series: Prophets of Pain and Promise

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right in your walk with God—and still come up empty, weary, or even tricked by the very faith that once inspired you? In this honest and soul-stirring message, we explore the tension between calling and disappointment through the eyes of the prophet Jeremiah. Though he was chosen before birth and given a divine mission, Jeremiah’s journey is marked not by triumph but by heartbreak, resistance, and eventually, a fire he could no longer contain. This sermon redefines obedience—not as striving or perfection, but as surrender to the holy restlessness within. Based on Jeremiah 20:9, “His word is in my heart like a fire... I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot,” this teaching invites us to let go of the exhausting effort of withholding and embrace the deeper truth God is stirring in us. Whether you’re deconstructing, wrestling, or just worn out—this message is for you.
