Jeremiah 17:7
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
I. Can’t. Do. It! I stomped my feet and told the Lord! I am not capable. I don’t have the will power. I am too old. I can’t try again. I can’t go through this again. I won’t do it because I. Can’t. Do. It!
What was God’s reply? I know you can’t! But I can!
I have no confidence in me and my abilities. I don’t have the strength to do many things in my life. That is OK. I don’t have to have confidence in me. I have to have confidence in God. I must learn to rely on his strength.
Need some more proof? Here are a few more verses in the bible to convince you.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29
My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Psalm 119:28
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10
Buy those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. Psalm 22:19
So, no I can’t do it! But God can! i just have to have confidence in him and rely on his strength to get me through.
