We need God in our weak points because our flesh may fail us and our hearts may deliberately mislead us, but God is the strength of our hearts and portion forever (See Psalm 73:26).
If you're going through a storm or facing a hardship right now, I recommend not putting too much pressure on yourself. If you have any temptations that are luring you away from God, let them go and God will show up. Do not lose your peace when you already have a father who loves you completely and keeps his promises.
Moses stated he was "slow of speech" (Exodus
6:30) and was worried if Pharaoh would listen to him when the Lord told him to
go to Pharaoh and speak all the words the Lord would instruct him. "Oh, my
Lord, I have not been courageous in the past or since you have spoken to your
servant, but I am slow of speech and tongue," he said (Exodus 4:9). He felt
weak and incapable of completing the work at hand. The Lord assured Moses that
he would assist and instruct him, but Moses requested that God send someone
else instead (Exodus 4:12-13).
When you're feeling weak, tired, or unprepared to
stand and don't know how to regain your strength, pray.
Prayer for strength
I ask, Lord, that I may recognize my authority in
prayer. Teach me how to pray with all of your might and power.
Thank you for always being close by and rescuing me
from my worries and difficulties. Lord, remind me that morning may be just
around the corner, and that this trial will not last forever.
When I'm tempted to give in to destructive temptations or when selfishness sticks to me and refuses to let go, I need your power to say, "no". When timidity and fear tempt me to abandon my heartfelt convictions, I need your strength to say, "yes". I need your courage to reach out in love to others near and far.
