So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’Says the Lord of hosts. ZECHARIAH 4:6(NKJV)

Too many times, we think we can do it ourselves. In some instances, that may be true, but if we’re going to continually win over the attacks against our minds, we must realize that willpower alone won’t work. What we need is the humility to turn to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to strengthen us.

I realize that many people do not grasp how the Lord lovingly operates in their lives. Not only does God love us like a father, but He also has caring concern for every part of our lives. Our heavenly Father wants to intervene and help us, but He waits for an invitation to get involved. We issue that invitation and open the door for God’s help through prayer.

God’s Word says, You do not have, because you do not ask (James 4:2 NKJV).

it’s not by force or power, but by God’s Holy Spirit that victory comes.
