Day 12

Prayer

   Lord God, I choose to thank You for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies (physical, mental, emotional, relational)… for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal… for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. Your grace is sufficient for me, for Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

Bible Verses

Hebrews 4:15

This High Priest (Jesus) of ours understan

ds our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin.

2Corinthians 12:7-10

⁷ even though I have received wonderful revelations from God. But to keep me from being puffed up, I was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from getting proud. ⁸Three different times I beg the Lord to take it away.

⁹Each time He said, “My gracious power is all you need. My power works best in your weakness”

. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me. ¹⁰Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
