This is always going to be a problem, till Jesus comes again.

What amazes me is how reluctant people are to lean on Jesus. The mercy when one does is indescribable.

The worst thing a Christian can do is to stand on pride and gin up his own strength. (I can TELL you about that, having done that for years after I first believed. While I got on “okay” I really did not have the divine comfort.) The best thing a Christian can do is to let himself be weak apart from pride, and lean on Jesus and find himself imbued with a new supernatural strength.

Yes. There is also a sense of peace because we can pray for those who heap ridicule on Christians for our faith and we can rest in the knowledge that God loves them and desires that ALL come to repentance and faith. Not all will, but that is between them and God. That is, I think, the supernatural strength you speak of. Letting the Holy Spirit speak, love and work through us to reach the lost and then giving God the glory for hearts and minds changed.
