What does God expect us to do to overcome the general feeling of malaise, uneasiness, despair, discouragement and hopelessness so common to our time? God calls on us to be zealous, repentant and filled with earnest expectation, excitement and enthusiasm. The spiritual tools God graciously gives us must be put to good use. We must run with endurance earnestly looking with expectation to the plan of God and the promise of eternal life. Living faith produces hope and godly love in our lives. Our relationship and commitment to God is key to overcoming trials which hold both the potential for growth or a plunge into malaise. As we stand daily before the judgment seat of Christ, let us focus on and rejoice in the Lord always, fight the good fight of faith and break forth into light now matter what the circumstance.

    Dr. Ward, Just Listened to your Sermon- Malaise: The Curse of Our Age, It is Apparent that God Gave you that one! I personally have been struggling and asking God "How can I serve You Better?" And in listening to this sermon I see that I was beginning to feel as my mother used to say, "I feel so un-necessary." I see that it was Malaise on her part, and I was beginning to go in that direction. I have been asking God how I can serve Him better and have been in the beginning of a rut because of Him not answering me on that. I believe this understanding that was apparent in this sermon is the Key, especially in Phillip: 4:1 where God says " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." MKJV. I see that I wasn't asking with Thanksgiving for all we already have. Thank God for the Men He has sent to be teachers such as yourself. I am 73 and have been in the church 50 years. I have had ups and downs and don't usually get down very easily, but this Sermon came at just the right time to help me get out of Malaise. Thank you for your diligent service to God by serving His people. JT GA.
