 thank you for listening to you or daily prayer a podcast dedicated to helping you find the words you need to connect with your father in Heaven no matter what's going on in your life today you can trust that God wants to hear from you right after the short word from our sponsor will praise her today's prayer together
 a prayer to release the idea that I can do it all on my own by Alicia Hadley read by Liam Martin and he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my strength is made perfect in your weakness 2nd Corinthians 12:9
 we live in a culture where the word self is often praised we see it all over social media highlighted in books and articles and it's been coined this Generations slogan is emphasized by motivational speakers and influencers we hear words such as self-help Healthcare and self-sufficiency is a common theme
 he's worth it first can semen powering but they lead to life based solely around ourselves in our own strength and in our own sufficiency it feeds us to lie that we only need ourselves and we can do it all by ourselves therefore we push God out often times we may experience burnout or exhaustion trying to depend only on ourselves when we depend de Leon ourselves it can lead to us a day late denying our need for Jesus
 today's verse is talking about the opposite of self-sufficiency
 as a Christian the more time we spend with the Lord to understand the gospel the more we begin to understand our great need for a savior
 it's in that moment when we find ourselves depleted by our efforts to save ourselves that we realize our true need for God
 today's passage talks about how God is enough and that he is more than enough it's in our weakness our exhaustion and our own efforts that we realize that his strength is made perfect in our weakness Christ is sufficient for us and will always come up short and we're trying to do it in our own strength
 we must go to the Lord with our inadequacies to relieve us of the exhaustion trying to do it on our own we must read his word daily and implant his truth and his ways on our heart rather than telling ourselves with culture tells us as we attempt to find all our Inner Strength
 it's God's strength that will make our we just perfect we can't do it all on our own in our own strength it's in his strength that we can do all things looking for 13
 let's pray
 dear God thank you for leaving us with the Bible for such wisdom like in today's verse thank you for the reminder that you never designed us to strive after doing everything in our own strength you designed us to be dependent on you and your strength
 forgive us for relying on ourselves and being sucked into it Society tells us and what the enemy drives into us that we can do it all on our own
 Lord we need you as John 15:5 tells us apart from you we can do nothing
 we ask that you would remind us of our inadequacies and we ask that you forgive us as we humbly come before you confessing we've relied on our own self for many things in our life
 remind is to abide in your word daily to remind us of our unfailing need for you may your word continually speak to us and reassure us that we're not enough all on her own but that we are enough in you
 the more we rely on you and your word the less will rely only on ourselves it's in you that we're more than enough and we thank you for this beautiful promise today we love you and we're so thankful for your word in Jesus name amen
