Why do we need God in our weaknesses?

Labels:

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.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us  

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
