My Breaking Point
I’m passionate about being able to help others sort through life’s most difficult moments. I simply help them apply God’s never changing truth to their ever changing circumstances. But, I’ve learned that sometimes I must say “It’s me, It’s me oh Lord. Standing in the need of prayer.”
Now, please don’t inform others that the Pastor just admitted his humanity. I might also add that I’ve been on the verge of my breaking point for quite sometime. All it requires is for life to get a little more demanding and it blows my cover every time. I think to myself “Pastor aren’t you supposed to have it all together? Don’t you have enough faith to trust God beyond your present circumstance?”
To that I reply, “I absolutely have faith God will see me through. After all, He has never failed me before so why should I doubt him now?” But, that doesn’t mean you can ignore your feelings. I’ve learned that pure honesty to yourself and others is one of the first steps forward.
You see, you have to conclude that without Jesus you can’t make it. You have to realize that you must run to Jesus or else your well will run dry. And, don’t just run to Jesus for a momentary bailout, but in full surrender. Lay it all at His feet. Humble yourself at the foot of the cross and nail all that overwhelms you on that cross. For it’s when we reach our breaking point that once again we realize where true strength, rest, and peace are found. I pray we all reach for Jesus the only real power source!
Jesus says, “Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
