Setbacks in life...

Setbacks in life...you're back in a place you swore you'd never be again-disappointment & failure overwhelm you. You worked hard to leave this place-you despise it but here you are again! You've climbed out of this same pit many times-but this time you're done. You're embarrassed, feel hopeless & don't understand what's wrong with you!

Know these 3 truths about where you are right now:
[1] Your willpower doesn't work but grace does-you can't deliver yourself…but Jesus can! Your willpower motivates you to start the race, but it's Jesus' power that sustains you to run & endure. Daily, seek Jesus instead of seeking to overcome; your intentions are sincere & seem right in your mind but put the focus on what you do instead of Who Jesus is & what He's done...it's the power on the inside of you that changes your life! You overcome nothing apart from Him (Jn 15:5) but with Him you can do all things He calls you to do (Phil 4:13)!
[2] Agree & renew your mind with who God says you are (Eph 2:10) not who you "feel" you are. Take every weakness to Jesus-His power is perfected in your weakness (2 Cor 12:9). He gives you the desire & power to do what pleases Him (Phil 2:13) because the Word works in those who believe (1 Thess 2:13)!
[3] Invite Jesus into every area of your life-asking Him to examine, correct & enable you (Pr 3:5-6) & have faith constantly (Mk 11:22)!

I sought the Lord & He answered me-He delivered me from all my fears...those who look to Him are radiant, their faces are never covered with shame (Ps 34:4-5)! This setback has no power in the presence of God...will you let him help you? LMM #setbacksinlife #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife
