3883 For When I Am Weak

Your struggle isn't a solo mission. In fact, rest is on the other side of surrender. The apostle Paul writes of this truth in 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."

Think about it—how quick are we to shout from the rooftops all the things we're good at? Yet when it comes to admitting where we fall short or struggle, we clam up.

Weakness has become a mark of failure or lack, not something to own.

But God flips the script: it's through our weakness that His strength shines brightest.

Look inward. Where do you feel weak? Or maybe, where do you want to improve but keep hitting walls?

That exact place might be your starting line. When you stop trying to muscle through on your own and instead hand your weakness over to God, that's when real strength shows up. Not because of what you can do, but because of what God can do through you.

The K.I.S.S. ~ For when I am weak!

Philippians 4:13 puts it plainly: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

It's not a motivational pep talk—it's a lifeline. Your confidence, your forward momentum, isn't tied up in your skills or willpower. It's rooted in the unshakable strength that Christ offers generously when you lean in.

Paul wasn't just being spiritual fluff. He was wrestling with real thorns and struggles, yet he found a reason to be grateful—not for the pain itself, but for whose he was. When you come to that place, your weaknesses don't define you. Jesus does.

So challenge yourself: What weakness can you stop fighting against? What struggle can you start handing over? When you do, you'll find that your weakness isn't your downfall—it's the point where God's power moves in and lifts you higher.

This is your moment. Rest in the fact that God's grace is enough, and strength will be made perfect because you're weak, not despite it.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
