“An enemy might defeat one person, but two people together can defend themselves; a rope that is woven of three strings is hard to break” (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
I used to read the Bible, on relationships and prayer, and think, “Wow! What a cool idea!” The older I get, the more I realize: There is danger, and it is my ego, to do it any other way. How would I suppose my ideas or way of doing things, if different than the Word, could be successful? We need prayer and others to survive!
There is no “self-made” man or woman, because any truly successful person has had God and others to do anything of consequence. I can’t even pray on my own without the Holy Spirit’s help or have a healthy relationship without the Lord in it.
God, I confess that I can’t do anything on my own, apart from you. I ask you to help me understand and to live out your Word in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
