John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Have you ever had someone tell you that you couldn't do something! Or someone say, "That can't be done"? Well I was the one that always hated those phrases. I joke about this now, but I was raised by my dad's philosophy. - If man built it, I can fix it - This at times has caused me much pain and heartache. I have lost much sleep thinking of how I could fix things. When I get them on my mind, I can't seem to let them go until I figure out a way to fix it. (I am still this way about earthly things)
But I have learned a lesson. It took much time and pain, but I have learned that there are things I can't fix or even handle without Him. Jesus said, "For without me, ye can do nothing". From our relationships, jobs, family, medical or financial problems, we can't do it without Him. We can do nothing without Him!
Right now! Realize that you can't do it without Him. Take the time to tell Jesus that you can't do it without Him. Do it now. Tell Him, "Lord Jesus, I've been trying to handle this on my own. I've been trying to come up with an answer or solution. But I have realized this morning that I CANNOT do this without You! Will You please help me? Please be my source of strength. Please be my upholder. I love you Jesus and thank you".
The words don't have to be those same ones, but could be along those lines. I want you to know something. I can pray with you this morning, and I have. But I can never pray for you. You must talk to Him. Tell Him, He will listen.
I can't believe I would have ever made this statement but here it goes...
You can't do it, I can't do it... I don't know how to fix it... But I know one who can!
