How Extraordinary Is Our God

Posted on April 6, 2025 by mitchteemley

Extraordinary

I prayed for guidance this morning, adding my usual, “Lord, you know I can’t do this without you.” Then I remembered the part I usually forget, “But with you, I can’t fail.”

    One of the most extraordinary things about our God is that He has forgiven me!

    I like your own words about assurance with the companionship of God. I’m drawn to the quotation, too. Is that Jim Elliot, the missionary?

    This statement expresses a deeply personal and humble posture of reliance on God, highlighting both human limitation and divine sufficiency. The first part “Lord, you know I can’t do this without you” reflects the fact of awareness of human dependency, which is spiritually healthy, but it borders on incomplete surrender if left there. The second part “But with you, I can’t fail” adds a powerful affirmation of faith that shifts the tone from helplessness to confident trust in God.

    Critically, the contrast between the two statements reveals an important tension in many people’s spiritual lives: it’s easier to acknowledge weakness than it is to boldly believe in divine strength operating through us. Yet, both parts are necessary. A spirituality that stops at “I can’t do this” may foster defeatism, while one that moves on to “with you, I can’t fail” embraces the hope and empowerment central to faith. However, there is also a risk of triumphalism if “can’t fail” is taken to mean worldly success rather than spiritual perseverance or alignment with God’s will.
