...but GOD CAN!

I am not a morning person!  If it were up to me, I would stay up late, sleep in until 8:00 AM, lounge in my pajamas for a couple hours and then take a mid-morning nap, but...I have a family and a job and a home, so...most mornings are much different than that.  My best days are the ones where I wake up early to work out, spend some quiet time with God and then get myself ready before my family wakes up.  In order to make that happen, my alarm goes off VERY EARLY and it is very difficult.  Until recently I would actually have to say to myself, "I can do this!"  But, a couple of weeks ago I was laying in bed telling myself, "I can do this" when I realized that I can't...I don't have the strength, but God does!  I can't do anything in this life without God.  I can't help my daughter overcome her fears, but God can!  I can't help that one student who isn't making any progress, but God can!  I can't heal all the hurting people around me and in the world, but God can! So, on the days when I feel defeated by all the sadness and hurting happening around me, on the days when I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities, and on the days when I can't get out of bed, I will pray and trust and know that GOD CAN!!!
