I recognize I may not be alone in this, so I would simply request that we pray for each other in this regard.
I am getting what is known in the working world as "short timers syndrome".
It's something that tends to happen with people who are about to retire. They sort of stop giving a rip about their job.
I believe, for many reasons, that we are very near the end.
It's tempting to just sit back and wait, but we need to remember to focus on presenting the truth to others. Spread the gospel and grace to all.
I do not personally deal with this just yet. I actually have been focusing on that a bit more now, but for me I still see myself slipping into the "short timers" state elsewhere.
I find myself not caring about doing *anything* outside of taking time to talk with my friends and guide them towards Grace.
While this may sound great, the reality is that if I'm wrong about our proximity to the end, this is actually self destructive.
I could certainly use the prayer to not give up on things to the point of foolishness, and I suspect others may be struggling with this as well.
