Have you ever been pulled through an emotional squalor through encouragement by others?

I have two money making projects I am working on right now and I would have given up on both projects if I did not see so many pastors online who said that God wanted you to continue trying and not give up, and that God would punish you if you gave up, since God expects you to be productive for a living.

I would not say what I did was that difficult, but it seemed pointless and ineffective and like a huge waste of energy that would not lead to increase and growth, but the digital pastors told me God would destroy your life and send you to hell if you sat around doing nothing all day and did not do productive things, even if you thought being productive was a waste of time and you that you would never succeed at the financial goals you were chasing.

Now I have achieved over 95% of the ground breaking work and it is just that final 5% before I start making money.
