 Ro 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Ps 56:9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

Sometimes trouble comes and I wonder why I even bother to try. Seems like nothing ever turns out right and I can't even get wrong, right. Can't even succeed at being a failure. Have you ever felt this way?

Mike Warnke, the Christian comedian once described times like this as being a time when you can't pray those "King James Prayers" but instead you hit your knees in the hallway and slide up to the bed and cry out to God saying:

"GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WRONG?"

and He answers:

"Not me-eth, you-eth!"

And usually that is exactly right. I have, somewhere along the way lost sight of God and have been trying to do things in my own strength.

Because God is for us, He is for me, He is on my side, He wants me to do well, but He wants me to do it in His strength, not mine. He wants me to give Him the honor and glory, not myself. He has a plan for me but I have to stay within His plan and not wander off into my own paths in order for things to work according to His will.
