Sometimes we act like we’re too strong or too spiritual to need help… but can y’all believe God is literally waiting for us to stop pretending and call on Him?

One of the biggest lessons God keeps teaching me over and over again is this: you will never be perfect, and you will never outgrow your need for Him. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been saved, how often you pray, or how close you feel to the Lord—there will never be a day where you stop needing His strength, His wisdom, and His presence.

For some reason, we get into this mindset that because we “know God,” we should automatically have everything under control. Like the moment we get saved, we’re supposed to magically handle every challenge with no fear, no discouragement, no weakness. But that’s not real life. And honestly, God never asked us to pretend like we’re superhuman.

What He did ask is for us to trust Him.

The truth is, trying to do everything on your own eventually leads to burnout. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Anytime I start feeling down, confused, weak, or like maybe I’m not measuring up, I remind myself of something simple but powerful: God is God… and I’m not.

And because He is God, He has the power, the strength, and the solutions I don’t have.

There have been days where I had to literally stop in the middle of what I was doing and say:
“Lord, I’m not doing good today. Lord, I need Your help. Lord, I’m feeling discouraged. Please step in because I can’t carry this by myself.”

And every single time—without fail—God shows up.

He doesn’t always change the situation immediately, but He comforts me, strengthens me, lifts my spirit, and reminds me that I’m not walking alone. That’s why we have to stop acting like we’re too strong, too spiritual, or too “put together” to call on His name.

You are never too holy to have problems.
You are never too grown in God to struggle.
And you are never in a place where you don’t need Him.

This podcast episode is about learning to let God be God. We have to stop picking up every weight like we’re supposed to handle it all by ourselves. God never asked us to be perfect—He asked us to depend on Him.

So from this day forward, make it a habit to call on His name in everything. Not just when life falls apart, but in the small moments, the confusing moments, the emotional moments, and the quiet hours where you don’t even know what you’re feeling.

Because the truth is: you will never be able to do it on your own, and you were never created to.
