Devotion – Stop Trying

Stop Trying

1 Thessalonians 5:23 New Living Translation

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole
spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until that day when our Lord
Jesus Christ comes again.

So many people are stuck in this a cycle of trying to be good, perfect, or
holy. Stop trying – you can’t do it! The harder you try, the more you’ll
fall short. If you could do it on your own, Jesus went to the cross in
vain.

God will change us if we allow we allow Him. Let Him lead you. Fall in love
with Him and you will automatically enter into the journey of becoming more
like Him.

Father, I choose to enjoy my relationship with You, and allow You to change
me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
