On several occasions when I was going through very difficult times in
my life, I became so upset at myself for feeling weak, sad, and very
anxious. I kept thinking that if I were a good Christian, I wouldn't
feel so weak. It has taken various pastors to remind me that I AM human -
and our Lord understands those feelings during challenging times!
All of today's scriptures are so powerful but my favorite is the one from 2 Corinthians 12:9. The NIV says, "My grace is sufficient for you; my Power is made perfect in weakness." The
first time I truly focused on that passage, God's acceptance of me with
all my weaknesses became clear! I praise Him for His acceptance of my
weaknesses "Just As I Am"(as the old hymn reminds us) and the promise that He uses these as openings for His light
to shine in and through me.
Do you have favorite scriptures or hymns that you go to for strength and peace in challenging times? Please share with me and others.
