It's a matter of focus

[My paraphrase of something I heard at church on Sunday]:

Obstacles block our way.
It's not the object that causes us to fall or fail.
It's our focus.
When we focus on the object (the circumstance) and not
the one in whom we trust, that's when we fail.

When I focus on all the weight I have to lose ...
When I focus on how far I'll have to walk ...
When I focus on how long (in minutes) I'll have to walk ...
When I focus on what I can't eat ...
When I focus on how many more minutes I have to ride ...
When I focus on my fear of not fitting in the dress ...
... my strength will fail.

But when I place my focus on Christ and trust Him to accomplish
all those things in me ... His strength cannot fail.
