Stop Trying to do it on Your Own | Mike Hatch | @mikehatch9613 #menareforged

Episode 125 - Many people feel the pressure to have it all figured out and try so hard to use their willpower to overcome addiction. The world reinforces this message, telling them to work harder and trust themselves more than God. However, this leads to burnout and a lack of trust in God. The answer is instead to walk humbly in the light, trusting in God over ourselves.

Stop trying to do it all on your own! Trust God, not yourself. You can't white-knuckle your way through addiction recovery or change - it's time to rely on God and break free from the world's mindset of hustle and grind your way to transformation. #TrustGod

"Most men are
living their lives
feeling this pressure
they've gotta have it
all together
We've gotta have
the answers
unfortunately
we've got it backwards
We're trying so hard
in addiction recovery
what we call
white knuckling
We're trying so hard
to work so hard
using your willpower
unfortunately
the messages
we get from the world
reinforces it
They say
“work harder”
“hustle”
“grind”
“You can do this”
“The answer is
inside of you”
I have found
completely the opposite
actually leads to burnout
leads to
you're actually
not trusting God
because
you're trusting yourself
over god"
