"People often say, I try to do this, or I try to do that, but I fail. They wonder why things will not come right. The explanation is contained within the words themselves. You should never "try" you should "let" – let God. Let go and let God, this is a wonderful recipe for overcoming fear & getting out of tight places." Emmet Fox (Find & Use Your Inner Power).
The word "try" is a trap. It is a self-destructive trap. When we were children, adults told us, "give it a try, and you may like it. How do you know if you can not do it till you try?" As children, this was sound advice. We need to try new things to find out our talents and build confidence. The problem is we never gave up childish things. As adults, we enter a new challenge with the childish thought and escape mechanism of at least we gave it a try. This lets us feel good after failing. "I tried." When I hear myself using the word "try," I know that I am not committed to completing the adventure to a successful conclusion.
I need to go to God in prayer to resolve the doubt in me and to solidify our partnership. Everything I do is in partnership with God. I talk to him in prayer. Study his laws that govern our actions and give me the determination to see it through till the end. In our partnership, we are 50/50, and God is the managing partner. As the managing partner, he only asks for 10% of the profits instead of the 50% he is entitled to as a 50% partner. Why would you not let God be the managing partner?
