New Strength in Weakness
He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Life has a way of humbling us. Whether that takes place through physical illness, personal struggles, or unexpected challenges, we often find ourselves in places where we feel weak and incapable.
But in those moments of weakness, God’s power is made evident.
I’ve learned that in times when I feel I have nothing left to give, God’s strength rises within me. I remember a situation in which I was trying to balance my personal life, work, and ministry, feeling overwhelmed and worn out. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could keep going.
Yet, through prayer, God reminded me that in my weakness, he could show his power. Instead of pushing through on my own, I began to lean into God’s strength, trusting that he would carry me.
When you feel weak, remember that God doesn’t expect you to be strong on your own. His grace is more than enough. His strength in your weakness is the very thing that will carry you through and make you stronger than you ever imagined.
Holy Spirit, thank you for being my strength in times of weakness. Help me to rest in your power and trust in your sufficiency. Amen.
