Why do we need God in our weaknesses?

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).

 Weakness allows God to work profoundly in our lives. The more we acknowledge our own imperfections, the more God can reveal his power through us. When the enemy believes he has trapped us, God can and will help us. When we trust in God in our weakness, His strength emerges in us in a number of ways, allowing us to be delivered from even the most difficult situations. God is patiently waiting to provide us with strength in our time of need. Do not be afraid to pray for God's strength to be bestowed upon you!

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.
