Are you struggling? I ask that question because each of us struggles with something in our lives. There are things that we try to ignore and there are things that we can't. Too many times we allow our struggles to rule our lives and we don't step up and take on all the things that are taking us down. First, we must admit we have a problem. It seems easy but sometimes it's hard to admit when we have a problem with something or struggling with something because it's tough for us to let people see us at our weakest points. Second, we must talk to God about it. This step is very important because we like to pick up the phone, text and call people for help before we call on God. Now after we are honest with ourselves about our problems then we can communicate with God about it. Finally, we must step away from our problems. What does that mean? It means we must remove ourselves from the temptations that may cause us to stumble and fall.
3 ways we overcome ourselves!
- Admit our problems & being honest with ourselves about them.
- Talk to God about it & establish a prayer life.
- Remove ourselves from the problem/temptation.
Now only you know what things you struggle with and now you know a few steps on how to get passed the struggle. I'm not saying it will be easy but the bible tells us ''No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.''(1Corinthians10:13) So now we know that the battle isn't ours and we have some help, let's learn how to use it.
