It is impossible to do this in our own strength because we are in the flesh which wars against the spirit. Knowing what CHRIST has done for us because of GOD’s love for us, helps me. Sometimes I fail and have to ask for forgiveness, but I continue to trust in and lean on the truth of GOD’s Word and JESUS CHRIST, my Lord and Savior, and remember the Comforter, the HOLY SPIRIT, is in me to guide me and remind me of His Word and guide me in His truth.

I can do nothing in my own strength. Everything I do I do through and for Jesus the Christ. He has always been there for me and He will always be there for me.

There are many times when life can become overwhelming ie grief. Relying on Christ’s presence and word and discussing it with those who also have faith reinforces how life giving it is to follow Christ.

When trying to do things in your own will and time frame never works out. By praying and giving all to God, He will provide and in his time.

It is impossible to do this in my own strength because of my sin nature, and the desire to do in my way. God’s spirit is the source of strength and the wisdom to live.
