GET REAL For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. ( Philippians 4:13 ) NLT Thoughts for Today When we are dealing with a life-controlling problem, we may begin to think, Whats the use? Ill never overcome this. Ive tried and failed again and again. I just dont have what it takes to get things right. And you know what? We would be right. We probably dont have what it takes. But we know someone who does: Jesus. And the Bible promises us that we can do all things through Christ. If we are willing to commit our lives to him, he will give us the strength we need to do what is right. He will guide us on the right path. And he will often send other people to help us. In order to receive this strength from Christ, we first need to admit that we need help. We need to be honest with ourselves, with him, and with others. We need to take off our mask of self-sufficiency and get real. Consider this Are you dealing with a problem right now that seems hopeless? Take the first step: Admit you need help. Ask God for his plan. Ask him for strength through Christ. Admit to caring people that you need help. Lord, Ive been trying everything I know to overcome this problem, but nothing seems to work. I need and desire your strength and guidance. Help me to be honest about my need with others you send to help me. Help me remember that I can succeed through Christ. In Jesus name
