Potty Prayers

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. — Philipians 4:13 (KJV and NIV combined)

I have to confess. I am sick of being bombarded with “self-help” messages. They come in the form of junk emails (take this medicine to please your spouse). They come in the form of tv shows (Oprah and Dr. Phil). There are even a ton of Christian sites that propose to help you to help yourself.

Believe in yourself. Love yourself. Think positive thoughts. Blah. Blah. Blah. All rubbish if you ask me.

I don’t want to believe in myself. I fail all the time. I can’t do anything unless I let God work through me. That’s just a simple fact I’ve come to accept. Occasionally I forget, try to take over handling something in my life, only to go back to God when I screw everything up. I don’t want to believe in myself. I want to believe in my God because He’s always there. He’s always right, just and loving. He never fails. If I get “myself” out of the way and let God work through me, then there is nothing I can’t do.

Make the choice to let God work through you. You will be amazed at the miracles that happen when you do.

Prayer: Lord, help me not to get caught up in the lies of this world. I know I can do anything through Your will because You will give me strength to do it. Help me to make the choice to let You work through me each and every day of my life. Thank You for the amazing things You’ve already done for me.
