How Firm A Foundation, Hymn 85, 3rd verse

Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand

One of my favorite scripture is Alma 26:11-12:

"11  But Ammon said unto him: I do not boast  in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my  joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with  joy, and I will rejoice in my God.
 12 Yea, I know that I am nothing ; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will  not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

To each reader that reads these to verses, they can receive different meanings and interpretation out of it. That's the beauty of it. One of mine interpretation of these two verses is this:

These two verses will help out anyone who has any addiction. It will help them understand that recovery from any addiction is done through God. I know that he will give us strength to resist sins and overcome trials that everyone faces in life. I know that to be true because i have seen it happen. I have seen people overcome trials and addiction by just simply putting their trust in God and i have also experienced. By simply putting my trust in God he has helped me overcome trials and temptations. Everyone that ever lives on planet Earth needs to know this that "as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will  not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things".
