What do we do when we don't know what to do?

The sad truth is that many people do one of two things.
First, we do the same thing again.We just try harder to make a relationship work, or succeed in our career, or break a useless habit.For example, chronic dieters think, "This time it will be different", because "this time" we're making a more sincere and heartfelt commitment to getting healthy and losing weight.People in a difficult relationship think "this time it will change.Somehow we can make it be better".

This approach reflects the popular definition of insanity.
doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. If we have tried our best, tried all that we know to do, and tried it again and again, we know how insane it can be. Going at a problem we haven't been able to resolve with our own limited knowledge and strength is not fun, is it? If it didn't give us the results we wanted the first three, four, ten, or twenty times, why do we think it will give us the answer this time?
Yet, most of us keep trying, hoping things will turn out differently.

The second thing most of us do, at some point, when we've tried and tried with the same results, we stop trying altogether. Understandably we get tired and give up. We might say "this relationship will never work", or " We can never lose weight" or "We'll never reach our goals and dreams", or "We'll never be able to get over depression".

So the result of trying to live life within our own limitation of spiritual strength, knowledge, and resources, is futility and hopelessness.

Fortunately, when we realize we have no more resources, we're ready to ask God for help.

When we ask God for help, we will instantly transcend our own limitations to a God who has infinite ways to grace us with all the resources we really need such as strength, power, knowledge, wisdom, guidance, direction, and much more.

No matter what limitation or circumstances we will find ourselves in life, there will be always a God who can empower us and get us to go past what we thought was possible.
