40. How to Avoid Temptation | John Ortberg
About this episode
Acknowledging limits (without shame)
HERE'S HOW:
Today, it’s okay to not “have it in you”.
You do not have to have all the answers or know what to do next.
With that in mind take the next few steps to rely on God.
- Humbly acknowledge your limit without shame.
- In prayer and as specifically as you can write down or speak out loud where you need help.
- Listen for God’s voice.
- Let go of ego, pride, and welcome God’s direction.
- As you go about your day and encounter your limit take time to pause, ask for God’s help, and follow his guidance.
Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
