When Quitting Seems Tempting
Day 64 - a Year with God
I often wonder why our efforts to improve ourselves are sometimes meet with resistance? That's a whole other thing though.
Yesterday was that day for me. I ended up quitting for the better part of the day. Then I finally gathered back up my courage and my will power and got back on track. I guess that is the main thing when you are feeling like quitting, or you quit; don't stay there for long. Get back on that horse or bike or whatever you want to call it.
It takes more nowadays to get me to the point of throwing in the towel; but I still sometimes reach that point where I just don't see how I can possibly keep going on.
This is where all that encouragement from the Bible is helping me get back to what I am working on. Life is going to come at me regardless. I may as well be prepared for it. And spiritual equipping is how I am getting prepared.
So, today I am taking my baby steps again. Walking gingerly and trying to do it right. So, here are some of the verses that gave me the strength to do it again. I hope everyone who is having struggles to continue on will take some comfort that we all get there sometime and what matters is moving forward and not staying stuck.
(I Peter 5:7) 7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
(Philippians 4:13) 13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
(Psalms 46:1) 1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
(Ephesians 6:10) 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
(Psalms 119:28) 28 My soul is weary with sorrow: strengthen me according to your word.
(Isaiah 40:29) 29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
(II Timothy 1:7) 7 For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
