Grace Beyond Understanding

"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9
 
 
Have you ever found yourself in a situation that made you feel inadequate or incompetent?  It is such a struggle to stop focusing on our own abilities.
 
Jesus made it clear that without Him, we are incapable of handling what life throws at us.  However, with Him, it is clear that we capable of handling life's struggles.  We can do what needs to be done with His guidance and direction.
 
In this truth, is the answer to all our anxieties, fears, and insecurities.  No matter what we do in life, first go to our Lord in prayer and lay it all before Him. 
 
By allowing Him to work in and through us, we can achieve the success that would otherwise be impossible.  It is His power that provides us with what we need to "do life."
 
Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I don't fully understand it, but I thank you for the struggles of life that come my way for through them, I get to know You better and I am better able to minister to those around me.
