Sufficient Grace in Times of Weakness

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing well.

Today I would like to talk about God's sufficient grace during our moments of weakness. Oftentimes, whenever we are facing some of the most difficult times of our lives, we may wonder how in the world are we going to make it through.

2 Corinthians 12:9 says:

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

In our moments of despair, that is the perfect time to allow God to show us His power. Once we finally stop trying to fix things on our own, God can come in and fix things the right way...His way. We have to realize that we don't have any strength of our own. All of our strength comes from God.

It can be so difficult when we're facing certain situations in our lives, and we realize that we have absolutely no control over what's going to happen or how to change it. These are the "Let Go and Let God" moments in our lives. Instead of growing weary and discouraged, we have to draw nigh unto God. We have to remember that God's grace is sufficient. We have to remember what Psalm 29:11 says:

The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

We have to do just like Philippians 4:4-8 says:

 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.   Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 

We should worry less, pray more, and trust God more. Leave all of our cares to God, and fix our minds on things above. I know it's easier said then done, but we must make every effort to do so. God doesn't want us to worry. He wants us to give everything to Him, and keep going by faith. His grace is sufficient. We may not think we're capable of making it through our dark valleys, but His grace is sufficient. Our burdens may seem too heavy to bear, but His grace is sufficient. We may find ourselves asking God, "Why me?", but His grace is sufficient.

During these difficult times in our lives, we have to read God's Word, and quote the scriptures to remind ourselves that His grace is sufficient. God loves us, and He cares about each and every one of us. There isn't anything in this world too difficult for Him to bring us through. We are limited, but He is not.

One last verse I would like to give you is 1 Peter 5:7. It says:

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

I encourage you this week to draw nigh unto God. If you're facing one of your darkest valleys, please remember that God's grace is truly sufficient. Cast your cares upon Him, and leave them there. Keep your mind elevated on God and His Word. Find some uplifting hymns, and definitely try to find some quiet time to spend with the Lord. Let Him wrap His loving arms around you and remind you that He is near and He cares. Let Him remind you that His grace is sufficient for whatever you're going through.

God bless!
