For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 H o w m a n y times in your life have you d e c l a r e d the fol- l o w i n g statements? " T h i s i s t o o h a r d ! That is over my head!" "I will never be able to do that!" " I am scared to attempt the idea I have !" "I am overwhelmed!" "I can't do it!" I have made these statements many times. Sometimes it was because I felt inadequate. Other times it was because I had never done the project, activity, or idea, and felt a little uneasy going into unfamiliar territory. Somehow, I talked myself out of doing some- thing that could improve my life or someone's else's life, simply because I completely focused on what I perceived I couldn't do. Lacking Confidence If you ever exclaimed those words too, you are in good com- pany! Throughout the Bible we find people who tried to elimi- nate their destiny, because they felt that God had the wrong per- son for the job. Moses, the great leader, prophet, and deliverer of Israel, gave God several reasons for why he couldn't stand before Pharaoh. The first one is found in Exodus 3:11 - "I am a no- body." Next in Exodus 3:13, he exclaimed that he didn't know what to say. In Exodus 4:1, he was worried about whether people believed in him and his message. In Exodus 4:10, he was concerned that his skills were not up to par and that he didn't have the ability to speak. Lastly, in Exodus 4:13 he truly believed and told God that some- one would be a better candidate than him. Fortunately for Israel, God was not impressed with any of those excuses and Moses didn't convince God to change his mind about him. In addition, no matter what Moses said, or how he protested, God reassured him with these words - "I will be with you". Exodus 3:12 (NLT) Our inadequacies don't startle God and don't cancel the divine plan and purpose that he I CAN DANYALE PATTERSON has for our lives. In fact, the shortcomings cause us to rely on God's power to work through us. When Apostle Paul was dealing with an issue, he found out that true strength comes from the grace of God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, he states what Jesus said to him: 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me." PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, I lift up my eyes to the hill where my help comes from. I praise you because my help comes from you Lord, the maker of Heaven and earth. You are the source of my strength. You uphold me with your righ- teous hand. Forgive me for try- ing to focus on my limitations and weakness instead of leaning and depending on you. I know that with you on my side I can do anything, and that you will never leave me or forsake me. In Jesus name I pray - Amen."
