The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray.
Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing
things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about
you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s
not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God,
he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your
call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the
way.
Here is a short prayer to seek God:
Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my
transgressions against you. In front of your eyes, I have done something
wicked. Please forgive me, God. I can't see the road ahead and need your help
to keep going. Allow me to lean on you with all my heart rather than relying on
my own imperfect understanding. When I'm lost and not sure which way to go, I ask
for your presence to guide me in the right direction. I attempted it on my own and failed several
times. I'd like to try again with you today. I pray in Jesus' name, amen!
