Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. (Zechariah 4:6, NIV)
Have you ever felt crummy from the "get-go?" You awake feeling "down" and that feeling continues throughout the day. Edges of His Ways (April 26 entry)
No matter how hard I try---my (mental) strength gets me no where. I cannot change this mindset.

Carmichael's entry helped me understand why this is so.
It (trying in one's own psyche) is useless. Trying to feel different does not "touch" feelings. One can't even argue with self because feelings elude arguments. In psychology 101, I learned that feelings follow action.
Prayer is an action.
Even waiting on Him is an action. Especially if patience is involved.
One chooses to turn and to wait on the Almighty.
Not my might but His.
The Almighty serves up a cuppa migh-TEA to everyone who turns to Him.
Almighty might!

But now, I pray let the power of the Lord be great..... (Numbers 14:17)Turning to the Lord is an action.
