2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
God, Our Lord, we know that you have said that Your Grace is sufficient. We know You have said we can trust in You when we are tempted, and that You will not give us temptation without giving us also, the way out through You. We pray today that You will show us that way. We are tempted, Lord, so often and so fully. We find ourselves wanting to face each day’s stresses and we forget to even look to You. But we do it now, Lord, we turn to You and we ask that You pour that Grace on us, Lord. We ask that You use our weakness as Your vessel and fill it with Your Grace, so that we may escape these overwhelming situations. Lord, we are so glad we can trust in You. We are so happy You are our Abba, Father, and that You are sufficient, always holding out Your glorious hand to help us from each situation. You may give us more than we can feel we can handle, but we can trust that You have also supplied us the tools to handle it, if we turn to You, as You have promised us. And so, we turn to You, Lord, and we know You rescue us, each time. By Jesus’ Stripes, We are saved. Amen.
