Delighting in my weaknesses

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV
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.


God reminded me of these verses this morning as I was praying on my drive to work. I've been struggling with some issues lately with feeling inadequate and weak in certain areas of my life. I've tried to gain control of it but I realize I am incapable of success with these areas without God. 

I am weak. I am not always in control. I am not always strong enough. I feel like quitting sometimes. I get tired and worn down. And yet I find so much peace in those things because I know God, MY God, is perfect and will help me be strong enough. 

I am weak...and I thank God every day for it. Because "for when I am weak, then I am strong."
