Something written by Billy Graham; he talks about the prophet Jeremiah (writer of the Bible book by the same name). Jeremiah mourns the inadequacy and waywardness of a lost world.
"O Lord, I know it is not within the power of man to map his life and plan his course."
~ Jeremiah 10:23
"Experience reveals that we are inadequate. History proves that we are inadequate. The Bible declares that a person is inadequate to save himself. Christ's coming to the world proves the inadequacy of the human race.
"Before I can become strong, I must first realize that I am weak. Before I can become wise, I must first realize that I am foolish. Before I can receive power, I must first confess that I am powerless. I must lament my sins before I can rejoice in a Savior. Blessed are those who mourn their unworthiness, their helplessness, and their inadequacy."
