As you approach God confidently, you can be filled with His confidence and inner ability to stand firm on His promise.

His authority will rise within you to do His will. You will not stand in your own strength or authority, but in His.

You must see in your life the relationship of this grace with faith. Faith changes things. You know situations arise that you do not really have faith to see changed. Or there are aspects of the path where God has placed you that you seem unable to follow.

If God has truly directed you, certainly He knows whether you can succeed. But the question is not if you have the natural ability for the task, but rather, if you have the grace.

God does not call us to do only what we are capable of doing. In fact, He calls people to do what they cannot do. If a person is doing for God only what he can do, then he is possibly not fulfilling his calling.

Anything that is done for God apart from His grace is dead works. Second Timothy 2:5 makes it clear: "A man who enters an athletic contest wins no prize unless he keeps the rules laid down" (Phillips).

When God calls you into His plan, it is not your talent or intelligence in which He is interested. He looks specifically for those who will do His will regardless of their personal ability.
