I cannot, of myself, navigate the waters of life – only God can; I cannot chart my own course through this world of chaos and strife – only God can. Living in this world of no moral absolutes, I cannot make sense of it all – only God can; Because this world has no solid ground, I cannot keep myself from a fall – only God can. Satan is too clever for us to resist; we cannot make him flee – only God can. He knows our every weakness; we cannot discern how to become free – only God can. We must realize we are but sheep; we cannot, of ourselves, overcome evil – only God can. When we come to the end of ourselves, we see we cannot fight the devil – only God can. The Bible says we are more than conquerors, through Christ, who strengthens us. Through Him, we can do all things; He commands we neither fret nor fuss. Through faith in Him we can win against sin, and from all fear be set free; Faith of a grain of mustard seed will cause any mountain of sin to be cast into the sea.
