Have you ever accepted a project or position that you were not quite sure you were qualified for and then doubted yourself often as to whether you would be able to perform at an acceptable level? Have you ever tried desperately to make something work only to feel like a failure time and time again?
To the first question, I find that God ushers me into situations like that when He is preparing me for a new season in my life. Being in such a position forces me to seek Him for strategies because I cannot fully rely on old knowledge – it’s time to build.
As for the second scenario – feeling like a failure – I’ve learned that the feeling of repeated failure comes when I keep trying to figure things out on my own or when I accept things the way they are rather than standing on the Word of God and activating my faith to believe and receive the better that God has for me.
During worship yesterday I realized all over again that out of everything I think I need right now, all I really need is more of God. I grabbed onto that revelation and I began to talk to my Father and tell Him that He was all I needed…that more of Him would transform me; that it would be His ability and not mine that would make the difference. As I cried out to God, I felt His power begin to surge through my body – I felt like I could barely stand at that point, and then I was just grateful and in awe that He would show up instantly to let me know that He heard me. In those moments where I feel overwhelmed, I will cry out, “More of You, Lord!”
I love Him.
