Thoughts of inadequacy and how the Bible tells us to deal with it

Hello again my friends and readers, This time I am going to discuss something of greater personal significance in regard to my own spiritual development and current struggles that I have been through in my faith recently.  Over the past few months, I have been dealing with feelings of uselessness and inadequacy, feeling like I am not doing what God wants from me in my life.  I've been thinking about how to deal with these troublesome thoughts, and with some help from my friends, and a little look inside myself, I have been able to discern how to move on in my life.  I had been feeling like I wasn't moving ahead quickly enough; like I was stuck in the place I am at.  Since I am human, I want to be able to move forward quickly with my life, and get on to what I feel God wants from my life.  But in the midst of school, preparing for grad school, and many other things, I have forgotten what God says about relying on my own strength in order to survive in this world.  I have trusted too much in my own strength instead of placing everything I have in Him and trusting in His promise to sustain me.  As a result of this, I have been feeling burned out and drained of energy at times.  My friends and family have reminded me that I am where God wants me to be, and they have been very graciously praying for me.  They have reminded me that even though I have been feeling useless lately, I still have ways in which I can live my life for Jesus while I am still at school.  I don't now what I would do without my family and all of the great friends that I have.  It is important to remember to fill our lives with His Holy Spirit every day, because it's presence is all that we need in order to carry on day to day in this world.  Our troubles may seem like they are unconquerable, but nothing is impossible with God. Amen.

Matthew 11:28-30   Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
