Running on Empty

Those who have been a follower of Christ for any length of time understand the highs and lows of faith that come on our journey.

My husband and I have been in life transition for the last several months. During this time, I have failed to take the needed time to keep filled up spiritually. 

Now I find myself running on empty… never a good thing.

 It’s not that I don’t know what to do to repair the situation, but I’ve got to want to be better first. I know it will come with some extended time of solitude with God.

POWERLESS

Step 1: We admitted that we were powerless over our dependencies–that our lives had become unmanageable.

I think about how many times I’ve complained about maintaining this body of mine. Then God gently says in my spirit they if I weren’t alive I wouldn’t need to care for it at all.

This is the same with our weaknesses of character. It is a huge pain to deal with – but what’s the alternative as long as we are breathing?

As humans we are going to fail over and over again. The answer, of course, comes only by turning our weaknesses over to Him. 

For when I am weak then I am made strong. ~ 2 Corinthians 12:10
