Just when you think you can't, God will show you that you can. And when the burden is too heavy and your will has weakened, He will carry and sustain you while He restores you. Being a believer in Christ does not mean we will have supernatural powers and endless happiness and live a fairy tale life. It can actually be quite different. I am one that chooses to stay in His peace and I live each day as a blessing and as a gift and when I feel a "funk" coming on, I try to contain it, restrain it then distinguish it before it festers. Our will and our mind are powered by the Holy Spirit so we can do anything through Him because He strengthens us. Weak minded, fear, doubts are powered by your feelings, not your mind. As Joyce Meyer writes we endure a battlefield of the mind. We will often struggle within ourselves but when we share it with God and bring it to Him with a pure heart and honest intent, He will work it out through you. The point is don't hold God up to a standard that disappoints you later for He cannot be controlled through your prayers but He is moved by your faith. For there is no greater One than He but He will not give you a "free pass" or "free ride" if you choose a sinful life. Stop listening to the prosperity and glitter sermons and put on the righteousness that God prepared for you through His Son, Jesus Christ the Lord.
Matthew 11:28-30
Philippians 3:7-11
