It's that time again. That time of the year when I get pensive enough to record my thoughts for posterity.
Anonymous person lost their job today. Anonymous person #2 had been having issues with taming their children and their finances. Anonymous persons all over are facing obstacles that only they know the enormity of. And yet, somehow, some of them still turn to Christ for answers. That is amazing to me. Amazing that, in the midst of every single day, Jesus is there, waiting for us to turn to Him. Amazing that those who are acquainted with Him so easily forget His majesty and might until things seem hopeless.
Why is it that we wait until we must rely on God's strength to actually do so? He is faithful in even the little things. We don't have to - and indeed shouldn't - rely on our own strength to get us through the day. We are insufficient. GOD is sufficient.
My prayer is this
Lord, forgive me for relying on my own strength. I know now that this is why things have gone poorly. Only you have the strength to do things right. I cannot do anything on my own, but you can do them through me. Please remind me daily. If I need it, remind me hourly, or every minute of necessary, because I am a hard nut to crack.
