Finding Strength in Weakness

Reflection
We all have moments where we feel weak, and for many of us, it’s hard to admit. Our culture often celebrates strength and independence, but God’s Word offers a different perspective. In our weakness, God’s Strength shines the brightest. When we feel like we’ve reached the end of our rope, God invites us to lean into His Strength, to let Him carry what feels too heavy to bear. It’s in our honesty with God that His Grace works most Powerfully. Instead of trying to “be strong” on your own, God invites you to give Him your burdens and trust in His Power.

Our weakness isn’t something to hide. It’s an opportunity to experience God’s Strength in a way we wouldn’t be able to if we were strong on our own. God’s Strength is both Gentle and Steadfast, meeting us right where we are. He doesn’t look down on us for feeling tired, broken, or afraid; rather, He draws near to us with compassion. The world may view dependence as weakness, but God sees it as trust.

As you come to God today, ask Him to be your Strength. When you feel exhausted or overwhelmed, remember that you don’t have to carry it all alone. Surrendering your weakness isn’t giving up; it’s an act of faith. By trusting God’s Strength to be greater than your own, you’re opening yourself up to His Power, Peace, and Guidance. Let Him lead you, one step at a time, into a place of deeper reliance on His Unfailing Support.
