Are you worn out from trying to do everything in your own strength? In this powerful episode of Devoted to Prayer, we unpack the hidden struggle of self-sufficiency and why it keeps many believers from fully depending on God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we explore how “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness” is more than a comforting verse—it's an invitation to let go of control and embrace God’s strength through surrender.
Discover how self-reliance may be showing up in your life masked as strength or responsibility, and how early life experiences often shape this mindset. You'll hear a transparent reflection on the toll of operating from a self-reliant spirit, and how God's grace became the answer to exhaustion. It’s time to release perfection, let go of performance, and make room for the power of Christ to work through your weakness. His grace is truly sufficient.
