"God will allow us to follow self-help, self-improvement programs until we have tried them all, until we finally come to the honest confession, â€˜I can't do it. I can't be righteous in my own strength!â€™ It is then, when we admit our utter powerlessness, that we find hope. For it is then when the Lord intervenes to do a work that we could not do for ourselves."
