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
When
I am
weak
and raw,
with a thorn
in my
flesh
and a
sinking soul,
in my hardship,
God is my
strength and
my
power.
His grace is
all I
need
to stand
firm.
