How many times have you said, “I can do it on my own”?
How many times have you repeated, “I am a strong woman”?
How many times have you affirmed, “My mother taught me to be independent”?
How many times have you thought, “I don’t need a man”?
Again and again, we hear phrases like these… as if depending on someone were a sign of weakness. Society demands that we be strong, hide our pain, and keep going as if nothing affects us. It teaches us that crying is failure and that asking for help is shameful. But the truth is that we were created to depend—not on just anyone, but on the One who can do all things. God knows we are limited, and that is why He sustains us, strengthens us, and lifts us up when we no longer have strength. Accepting help does not make us less; on the contrary, it reveals wisdom and humility. A woman who acknowledges her need for support is not weak—she is courageous.The Bible says:
“The wise woman builds her house.”
And it also reminds us:
“Two are better than one,
because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion;
but woe to him who is alone when he falls,
for he has no one to help him up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
God made us this way: sensitive, pure, strong, and full of virtues. And although many times we can do it alone, true wisdom is found in allowing Him—and also others—to help lift us up.
