2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “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.”
This verse reminds me that God isn’t waiting for me to have it all together—He reveals His power right in the middle of my weakness. It’s in our dependence on Him that His power becomes most visible.
In the moments I feel worn out, unsure, or not enough, God gently reminds me: “you don’t have to be”. When I lose my patience, He offers grace. When I feel unseen, He reminds me He sees. When I’m running on empty, He fills me again. His strength fills the gaps where my own strength runs out.
So I thank God for every limitation, every shortcoming, every “I can’t.” Because in those moments, I get to see what He can do. My weakness, the very thing I want to hide, is where God shows up strongest. It’s in the quiet moments
when I finally exhale, in the tears I try to blink away, and in the whispered prayers of “Lord, help me”. He’s right there.
I’m learning to thank Him for the weakness—because it keeps me close to Him. It reminds me that being strong doesn’t mean having it all together. It means leaning on a God who does.
Thank you God for weakness and giving us the privilege to call upon You to give us strength
