Read 2 Corinthians 9–13.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10
Dear God,
Thank you for your grace. I see so many hardships, difficulties, and much suffering all around me, but then you give me these words today. I declare in all of these situations that I am weak, but I am resting today in the knowledge that in my weakness, you work! In my weakness, I am strong by the grace of God. In my weakness, I am strengthened by my faith. In my weakness, Christ’s power rests on me, and so I will rest in you, Father. I will delight in each situation as I lay it at your feet and watch the strength of my Father restore health, depression, addiction, hardship, and hardened hearts through His grace. Thank you for making me weak so I can get strengthened in you and you alone.
I love you, Papa.
