Philippians 2:13 NKJV | “For it God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”

God is the one that gives us the desire and the power to obey Him. He is the One that ‘makes us’. Jesus said, ‘follow me and I will make you’. We are not competent enough to imagine that our competence and qualification come from us. (2 Corinthians 3:5)

Therefore don’t focus on yourself. Don’t be fixated on your abilities. Don’t focus on your problems either. Don’t focus on anything in the natural. Whatever you can achieve or resolve by yourself equals nothing. (John 6:63) So, don’t think of yourself more highly than you ought to.

Let God’s power rest on you. Let His Spirit overshadow you. He’s working to free you from dependence on your abilities. He’s working to free you from being the Lord of your life. He’s working in you so you can find peace, rest, and end to your struggles. So, no need to struggle. No need running on your own might. Let go and let God. Bliss be with you. 
