I Can't Do This On My Own

I think that there is always a point in our lives when we want to change for the better. We recognize areas of our lives that we are struggling in, and strive to improve them. I noticed that even when I was young I would try and do this. For instance, if I noticed that I was purposely annoying my brother too much, I would try and stop. I continued with trying to improve different things throughout high school and now in college. One thing that I have learned along the way is that I cannot do it on my own. Yes, I can make my own efforts and have the mind set that I want to change these certain things, but I am nothing without God. Obviously, these are areas that I am already struggling in, so why do I try and convince myself that my own efforts are going to fix them? It is through God's power that I am going to be able to change things. The areas that I fall short in are ones that God can change in me. I can attempt to change these areas, but I am not going to get very far. I may see progress for a while, but I am most likely not going to see a lasting change. Instead of trying to fix myself on my own, I am going to choose to let God to work His power in me.
