UNLESS

Today's reading: Psalm 125-127

"Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is useless. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good." Psalm 127:1 NLT

Where are you failing to invite God in? Or refusing to ask for godly help, mentorship, acountability or prayer?

A project? A relationship? A ministry? A challenge? A heartache?

Here are some reasons I choose to 'Lone Ranger' my way through life, see if any might apply to you...

-I got myself into this pickle, I need to get myself out!

-It's bad enough I'm struggling in the way I struggle, why let anyone else in on it!

-I really don't want to be a bother!

-In comparison to their issues, this seems so minor!

-I should be able to do this on my own!

-If I fail AGAIN, I don't want anyone else knowing about it!

-What will they think of me?

-What if they cannot be trusted?

Maybe that's more information about me than you ever wanted to know--but it's the truth. I carry loads on my heart and shoulders that God never intended I carry and others would gladly help me bear, but I don't invite God or them into it.

Unless God is in your mess, or His people in your life, your struggles will not end, your answers will not come, your success will not be achieved.
