So I just finished reading one of my daily devotions and had to share this portion,   
              
"But every time I said, "There's no way," I'd remember Jesus calling himself, "The way..." (John 14:6).
     He was the way. He was the One to follow. He was the One who would guide me each day.  He was the One I needed to pour out my heart to in prayer. He was the One to listen to. And He was the One who reassured me with so many promises in the Bible. One of those promises was Isaiah 58:10-11:

"... If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."

  I can't tell you how many times I have said "Lord, I can't do this" and yet here I am, doing things I could NEVER do without the strength of the Lord!   I remember when Scott was very first diagnosed I was driving down the street talking to God, telling Him "I can't do this"  and I heard Him say "no, but I can".  We tend to get so wrapped up in our own abilities that we forget who we are in Christ!

Philippians 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Psalm 121
A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
