Biblical Answer

If you're not strong enough to face this, it's time to acknowledge your limitations and seek help from the One who can give you strength. In Romans 7:18, Paul expresses his own struggle with the power of sin in his life: "I have the desire to do what is good, but I do not have the ability to carry it out." This is a common experience for many Christians, and it's okay to admit when we're not strong enough. In fact, it's a sign of humility and a willingness to seek God's help. When we acknowledge our weakness, we open ourselves up to receive God's strength, which is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:8).

It's not about trying to muster up our own strength or willpower to overcome our struggles, but about surrendering to God's power and wisdom. When we face our struggles with a humble heart, we can say, "Here I stand; this is the way the world looks to me" (2 Corinthians 12:10). This is a declaration of dependence on God, acknowledging that we can't do it on our own. It's a willingness to face the strain and uncertainty of life, knowing that God will give us the strength we need. As we seek God's help, we can begin to see our struggles as opportunities for growth and transformation, rather than as sources of defeat and discouragement.

In the midst of our struggles, it's easy to become discouraged and give up. But God is at work in us, even when we don't see it. He is using our struggles to make us stronger and more like Christ. As we face our weaknesses and limitations, we can pray that God will use our struggles to make us more like Him, and that our influence will be used in the right direction. We can trust that God is working everything out for our good, even when we don't understand it. And when we come to the end of ourselves, we can cry out to God for help, knowing that He will give us the strength we need to face whatever challenges come our way.
