Biblical Answer

When facing challenges in taking care of oneself, it's essential to acknowledge that self-awareness can sometimes hinder our ability to trust in God's care. This is because our natural self-awareness can lead to anxiety and worry about our ability to meet our own needs. As the quote suggests, "your natural self, which is thus being starved and hampered and worried at every turn, will get angrier and angrier." In this state, it's crucial to remember that God is our provider and will take care of us in times of need. We can trust that He will provide everything we need, and nothing we ask will be denied.

When faced with specific challenges, such as becoming disabled or being overpowered, it's essential to remember that God's sovereignty is at work in our lives. He is our strength and our shield, and we can rely on Him to guide us through difficult situations. While we may not have all the answers, we can trust that God will provide for us and give us the wisdom we need to navigate these challenges. As the quote suggests, "When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you." We can also seek the counsel of trusted friends, family, or spiritual leaders to help us navigate these situations.

In times of uncertainty, it's essential to look to Jesus and trust in His care. When we look to Him, we will no longer be alone, and we will be strengthened and changed. We can expect to say, "This is exactly what I needed." Through our struggles, we can learn more about God and His character, and we can come to a deeper understanding of His sovereignty over our lives. As the quote suggests, "Through depression I have learned things about God and myself that I would never have learned otherwise." By trusting in God's care, we can find peace and confidence in the midst of uncertainty.
