When you try to do things in your own strength, you wind up overwhelmed, frustrated, and worn out. I am here to help you. I am here to empower you. I am here to strengthen you. I am here to counsel you. I am here to pray for you and with you. Lean on Me. Rely on Me. Things will work out a lot smoother, a lot cleaner, and a lot easier, if you lean and depend on Me, and not on your own strength.....or your own understanding. Give it a try. You'll discover more peace and joy on this path, I assure you. You'll find everything you need along the way in Me.
Zechariah 4:6
"Then he (the angel) said to me, 'This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies..."
Philippians 4:13
"For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take."
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, "overwhelm" is an enemy of my soul. Help me learn to resist it at the onset. Help me learn to recognize it and reject it. Help me tap into the grace that dwells on the inside of me and apply it to my soul. I want to see my life roll out according to Your plans and purposes.
