Have you sought to exchange your own human effort for divine strength? What happened?
-
I seek this frequently. The challenge I have is that I often will give something to God and then try to take it back. I am always amazed when I leave it in God’s hands how he answers in ways that are so much better than my own.

Definitely. I really can relate to this one!

Yes I have with regard to a couple of bad habits that I am striving to be free of. I don’t receive His divine strength unless I remain constantly and consistently focused on God. It is a work in progress as I embark on the journey of a Christian life.

I have sought to exchange my human effort for divine strength, but I usually make the mistake of using human effort before crying out to the Father. I have an issue with worrying about things outside of my control, but God always works things out for my good. In my current job, we are required to support raise to earn a monthly paycheck. I was worried if I would be able to raise enough money. God reminded me that He is my source and He provides us with resource.

I will be honest, I have but I have always had a hard time because, I’m a perfectionist and I will continue to try on my own until I cannot find a way to get something done. The times that I have completely sought His strength, it’s a beautiful experience because I feel His peace, comfort and a sense of hope that everything is going to be ok.

I am working on this concept. Too often I try to complete life under my own strength and things go miserably wrong. This is a good reminder that I need His strength to accomplish His diving plan.
