One of the most important things I have learned is to let God do the heavy lifting. Too many times we see what's wrong with ourselves & try to fix it through our own strength, but this will never be good enough. Jesus said in John 15:5, "apart from me you can do nothing" (NIV).
We may try to be self-sufficient, but we need to let God supply the grace & ability to do what we need to do. Willpower & determination can get us started, but they've been known to quit in the middle & leave us stranded.
We can learn to enjoy the life Jesus died to give us by inviting God to become involved in every aspect of it. Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary & burdened, & I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 NIV).
We are not made to function without God. And with Him, we can break any bad habit or addiction like overeating, substance abuse, poor time management, anger issues you name it. Jesus is bigger than any problem you have.
