Day 11: Strength in Weakness

Paul’s life was marked by both incredible triumphs and deep struggles. In 2 Corinthians, he speaks about a “thorn in the flesh” that tormented him—a weakness he begged God to remove. But instead of removing it, God gave Paul a powerful response: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

Sometimes, we equate strength with independence. We think we must overcome life’s challenges on our own. But God’s way is different. He doesn’t ask us to be strong in ourselves—He asks us to rely on His strength. Paul’s weakness didn’t disqualify him; it became the very stage on which God’s power was displayed.

Think about your own life. What areas feel weak or broken? Maybe it’s a struggle with fear, insecurity, or a situation you can’t control. What if, instead of hiding these weaknesses, you brought them to God? What if His strength could shine through your surrender?

Take some time today to write down areas of your life where you feel weak or insufficient. Then pray this prayer: “Lord, I give You my weakness. I ask for Your strength to be made perfect in my life. Teach me to rely on Your grace, knowing that You are enough.”

God’s grace is more than a promise—it’s a power that carries you through every trial. You don’t have to have it all together because He does.
