Strong Enough.

You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

("Strong Enough" by Matthew West)

I literally just listened to this song for the first time probably about 5 minutes ago. But when i listened to it and read the lyrics it really made me think. I am so guilty of this... So many times i get so stressed out because i don't know how I'm possibly going to handle a certain situation that i am up against. But thats the thing, I'm not supposed to handle it. Not on my own at least. God gives us all these different circumstances, all these overwhelming circumstances, not thinking we can handle it, but knowing that without Him we can't. He didn't make us strong enough to do it ourselves. We need Him. He is the only way that we are strong. How awesome is it that we serve a God big enough to be exactly what we need? This has been such a great reminder to me this evening. I'm so thankful that I'm not strong enough, I'm so thankful that i serve someone bigger than me bigger than any circumstance and I'm thankful that i serve a God who is willing to be strong for me because I am so pitifully weak.  I pray that i will always be reminded of this truth. Maybe you didn't need to be reminded of this, but I felt the need to share this with you regardless. 

Philippians 4:13

~For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
