Stuck.
That is the way it is . . .
Limited.
Imprisoned by circumstances.
There did not seem to be another way. The thing is . . . that is the way they thought. They needed help to break through the way they thought.
A limited mind-set imprisons our perception . . . obstructing our view of life.
To see more . . .
to see beyond the limitations and constraints of circumstances . . .
we must seek God . . .
and ask God to break through the obstacles..
The thing is the Apostle Paul was under arrest . . . in jail . . . however . . . free in mind and spirit. His confidence did not come from his abilities or circumstances . . .but . . . from Christ:

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Worship: Michael W. Smith - A New Hallelujah
At first glance, having confidence in Christ . . .
seems hard . . . .
and impossible.
But, look again, to be confident in Christ, is to be
released
and
freed from the weight of pressures and problems.
In reality, the process that releases us from the limitations that imprisons the mind requires surrender to Christ.
Consciously develop confidence . . . trust . . . asking God to empower the way you think . . . to be confident in Christ . . . believing that God always has more.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . with confidence in Christ,
Pastor Kerrie
