God Strengthens In Weakness
Paul defended his ministry by
showing how individuals can be
reconciled to a loving God. And he
pleads with the Corinthian church
to be reconciled to him as their
spiritual father. In his final words,
Paul draws upon his authority as
an apostle to exhort the rebellious
to repent so that his approaching
visit can be a time of rejoicing.
Lord, we will be Enabled by You:
Three different times I begged
the Lord to take (a thorn in my
flesh) away. Each time He said:
My grace is all you need.
My power works best in weakness.
So now I am glad to boast about
my weaknesses, so that the power
of Christ can work through me.
That’s why I take pleasure in
my weaknesses, hardships and
troubles that I suffer for Christ.
For when I am weak, then I am
strong (2 Cor 12:8-10). Amen.
Lord, teach me the art of looking
to You God instead of being
immersed at my problems.
Remind me Lord that anything
of lasting value in life is really
because of You and not me;
for success come from You.
Give me eyes of faith for Yr grace
that I may press on even when
I feel being overwhelmed. Amen.
Lord, I have much weaknesses
to give You; and You know all
my frailties that keep me feeling
insufficient. But You are my
sufficiency and my strength.
I fully depend on You Lord and
surrender my frailties over to You.
Please step Lord into my gaps
and weaknesses with Yourself
and Your help. In Jesus’ name.
Lord, You promise in Your Word
that Your power works best in
our weaknesses. So Lord work
in and thru all my weaknesses.
I am thankful and grateful Lord
that I don’t have to be perfect
so that I can be useful to You.
Help me trust Your strength to work
in my weaknesses; and You’ll raise
me up to more than I can be. Amen.
