This world says you can do it yourself, be self made. Everyone else will let you down, you have to trust in yourself. God says, trust in me, I will never leave you nor forsake you, Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5. God won't let you down, he keeps his promises, Numbers 23:19, Joshua 21:45.
I don't know what you are trying to accomplish on your own. But I can tell you that you will be more successful when you allow God to work in you and with you. Maybe what you're trying to do is against God. Then God won't help you. And I can tell you that, you won't be successful fighting God.
God isn't your enemy. God will go with you into the good fight, when you are fighting for righteousness. God will help you be successful, when you are working to do good and right. God's plan might be different from yours, so be willing to acknowledge a good outcome even when the results aren't what you expected. Not yours, but His will be done. Stay faithful.
God, you are our strength, our power, our righteousness. Thank you for being our safe place to rest. Thank you for being with us. I pray we look to you and ask you into our lives day by day, hour by hour. May we not forget the good things you do for us. May we give you all the praise, honor and glory. May we bow to your authority and give up control so that your will is done on earth, as it is in heaven. Amen.
