Day 16- Power In My Weaknesses 

• God’s Word

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.  2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NLT 

• Today’s Thought

Have you ever been walking around with a pebble in your shoe? It seems to bother you and irritate you constantly! Eventually, in life, if you have a pulse, you’re going to have a problem that annoys and irritates you and causes you to feel weak. It is an interesting perspective that the Apostle Paul gives us about the things that can irritate our lives, like the thorn he described in his flesh in (2 Corinthians 12:7). God doesn’t promise to remove our problems, but he promises to help us change the way we look at our problems or weaknesses. These weaknesses and problems are incredible opportunities for God to show His strength because His power is made perfect in our weakness. 

As we continue to pray this prayer of blessing over family, friends, and future, let’s pray that God will show His favor and His power in our weaknesses. 

• My Prayer 

May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT) 

Heavenly Father, today I thank you that you are the God who gives me strength when I am weak. I thank you that you can use my weakness and problems in my life to show your greatest power and purpose for me. I pray for your favor over my family, friends, church, and future, and I pray you will show your power so that you might receive great glory in my life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
