Often times we’re spinning the wheels of life so hard, exerting so much energy, yet we’re seemingly not getting anywhere on our own. To some, it has become so normal that they motivationally keep pushing and trying, but they are yet to understand that life doesn’t work that way. Life is not just about trying; it’s about grace and living by faith. When we try to live by ourselves, all our trying does is cause frustration. We can never make life better by trying. And that’s why the Bible says in Gal 3:10,

Key Scripture

…anyone who tries to live by his own effort, independent of God, is doomed to failure
Galatians 3:10 MSG

Our effort without God is fruitless.
