Hitting your limit isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s an invitation to shift your perspective. When the enemy brings the battle to your mind, remember that he only attacks what’s valuable. And God’s goodness is your secret weapon to win the fight. If you’ve been asking God: How long is this going to last? How long am I going to be sick? How long am I going to suffer? How long before I can let go? How long before I find someone? How long until this struggle is over? How long until I feel okay again? Then this message is for you.

When despair sets in, it’s easy to assume it’ll always be this way. But what if a shift in thinking could break that cycle?

You don’t get to choose who God will use, because God will use whoever He wants. That includes people you didn’t expect… maybe even you. You don’t have to be perfect, just willing.
