These are simply emotions of flesh and devil.

One woman walked away from our little church group in December, 2018, saying to me that she didn't care about Bible and blog we write any more. She said she didn't care about anything any more.
Jesus said: Matthew 24:12 (concerning last days) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

This is not a one time battle ... nor is it a one time victory.
We overcome through prayer and through clinging to that which the Bible says as long as God chooses to leave us on this earth.
And Jesus says to us the following.
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
