 (Spirit helper speaking: ) Darling, I know you feel too weak at times to manage even a small test of will or test of strength even in the physical. But that is what you are meant to feel. Think of the strength it must have taken for someone like the apostle Paul—or Peter or Thomas or Matthew or any of those, to keep on going and doing what they did, with so much opposition. 
Of course they, and all the others, didn’t have it in them to do anything the likes of what they needed to endure. But through Christ they wrought righteousness, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, and for the most part escaped the edge of the sword, unless it was their time to go. 
Out of weakness they were made strong; and they wax valiant in the fight, because of the fight. See they—and all their brethren the prophets were weak men, and weak women have also been called to do great feats. That’s who God can use, in fact who He prefers to use, as it gets the job done much faster. With those who pride themselves on any strength they think they possess, it takes a lot more time to work them over with breakings and such, until they are willing to rely most of all on the Lord.
So don’t despair if you feel you can’t make it and go the distance, in your own strength that is. You are more ready to be used than someone who has miles still to go on their “forsake their own image and put on the nature of Christ” lessons. See, if you are already broken and weak, then you just have to do the “put on Christ” part, and it saves all the time of having to peel off all the pride and image of making a good impression on others. 
Those on God’s full-out team can’t be running a race in the latest fashion, or attempting to drive to the end in their Rolls Royce. They’ve got to get on their humble-work running shoes, and put on the most flexible and appropriate clothing. 

(Jesus speaking: ) So, what do I want you to wear? The garments of a meek and quiet spirit, ready to do I as call and go when I say “Go”.
