Have you ever thought something that God told you to do was too hard? Next thing you know you’re thinking it’s too hard and so you subconsciously give up? You should know that thought is a trick and is a thought coming from the enemy to get you to disobey God. How do I know? Jesus said we can do all things through Him, that He would strengthen us.
Philippians 4:19 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. AMPC
Jesus said the enemy is a liar, there is no truth in him and so we can know he is not going to be in agreement with Jesus, but opposed to Jesus.
John 8:44 You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me [do not trust Me, do not rely on Me, or adhere to Me].

You have to know the enemy is tricking you so don't believe his lie. He wants you to disobey God —and in order to get you to that place he has to talk you into a lie. Since Jesus said there is no truth in him —he speaks falsehood and Jesus speaks the truth, we can know the devil speaks opposed to the truth. Therefore when he interjects the thought in your mind that you can’t it is too hard, you can know that is a lie and one that he is trying to control you with.
How does he interject thoughts? Through your thinking.
2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),6 Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete. AMPC
The enemy messes with our thinking which is why we are instructed here to take captive every thought and make it a Jesus thought.
Now that you know the truth you can think the truth. Yes you can, you can do all things, and all those things Jesus told you to do, Him in you, His power in you — you can do anything!
Anything is possible for him who believes (Mark 9:23).
