God takes some people out of your life so that you would stop leaning on them and begin to lean on God. Everyone’s arms get tired, but God will never get tired of you.

Lord, I am much weaker than the darkness trying to over take me. But you are stronger, far stronger. I open my heart to You, and thank You that You are willing to flood my heart with love, as the sunshine floods a room that is opened to its brightness. Brighten my heart. Fill my heart with love. Push out the darkness that is in me.
A strength we can only have through Jesus. Not a strength of our own. We will never be strong enough.
Matthew 5:11-12
11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.”
The older I get the more I learn, I can’t do anything.
Over and over again I try to take matters into my hands; to fix situations, fix myself, change who I am, stop my pain, heal my wounds, love people, give counsel, give comfort, say the right things, do the right things, change my heart, change my attitude, control myself, but I try to do these things in my own strength. My efforts are futile. I will never achieve any results with my own efforts. Nothing I can do is ever going to be enough or right. The only way I will ever change, get results, help people, be healed, have joy and peace, love, comfort, counsel, and become more like Jesus is if I allow Him to work in me, allow Him to take care of things, allow Him to speak through me, and His light to be seen in me. We can do nothing in our own strength, but we can do all things(GREAT things) in His strength.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days—when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great—and you turn to God alone.
