Grasping for Control

DAY 2 OF 5

Stuck in a Habit

Do you have some behaviors and habits that feel like never-ending cycles? Maybe something you do to yourself or to others that continues to discourage you, but you don't seem to be able to change?

Well, I want to encourage you. We all have them.

Even the greatest writer of the New Testament, the apostle Paul. He wrote these words in the book of Romans. He said,

I do not understand what I do. The thing I want to do, I do not do, but the thing I don't want to do, that is what I do.

Sound familiar? I want to encourage you. The worst way forward is to pull away from God, thinking that He's disappointed with you. Proverbs 15 tells us God loves those who pursue righteousness. He's leaning toward you today to offer grace.

Grasping for Control

Living on the earth as a human comes with limits. There are problems we feel powerless to change. Habits and relational patterns can leave us feeling stuck. And we long to control the situations that frustrate us. Join Andrew and Wendy Palau in this encouraging 5-day devotional and be encouraged that God's power meets us where our power ends. With Jesus Christ, change is possible.
