Morning Scripture
“Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.”
II Corinthians 12:5-6 NKJV
https://www.bible.com/114/2co.12.5-6.nkjv
“That experience is worth boasting about, but I’m not going to do it. I will boast only about my weaknesses. If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t do it, because I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message,”
2 Corinthians 12:5-6 NLT

Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, we are grateful and excited for every deliverance, every victory, and every day of joy you bring.

Morning Scripture
“Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” II Corinthians 12:8-10 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/2co.12.8-10.nkjv “Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 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 12:8-10 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/2co.12.8-10.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, forgive us for focusing on our struggle, our ___________, or our ______________. Forgive us for allowing them to distract from your grace and mercy. Thank you for your Word, that reminds us that you are with us in all times and situations, in our ups, and especially in our downs. Father, remind us, that when we rely on you during our struggles, when we focus on you, You will strengthen us, encourage us, and comfort us through the journey. In Jesus’ name we pray and seek your comfort. Amen. I was reminded several years ago to stop praying the trouble away. But to ask God for endurance, for a closer walk with Him during this time, and an understanding of what I was to learn in this place. AND, although not always right away, I learned something about me, about my walk with Christ, and about God’s purpose for me. Sometimes, the struggle made room for me to spend more time with Christ. And I thank Him for it. Thank you, Lord. Amen. |

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. My Jesus, thank you for your example of humility and strength. Father, thank you for your Word, that reminds me that sometimes we are weak and sometimes our life circumstances can draw all of our strength. But, My Lord, by our faith and your power we are strengthened. Glory Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord, for conviction, confirmation, and love everlasting. In Jesus’ name we praise and pray. Amen and amen. SOOOO..... I really try not to use partial scriptures. But this part of the scripture made my heart dance. Immediately, I felt calm, because my spirit heard that even in times of weakness, God is strength. Yes, Lord and Amen. ************* Entire Scripture: “Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God. We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have God’s power.” 2 Corinthians 13:4 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/2co.13.4.nlt |
