Why do I feel powerless?

There are situations in our lives we desperately wish we could control, but we are powerless to change.

We’re not the ones with the power, but our God IS.

The apostle Paul struggled with a physical ailment that he was unable to change. But he knew that God’s power met him in that place of weakness. In 2 Corinthians 12:19, he shares what the Lord said to him about it:

Each time, he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” That’s what the Lord said. And Paul says… So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Paul knew that the power of Christ—filling him at his weakest point—was stronger than his own power…even on his best day.

If you feel powerless, invite the Lord to move in you and in your situation. He is strong, and He will help you.

“Perhaps you think we’re saying these things just to defend ourselves. No, we tell you this as Christ’s servants, and with God as our witness. Everything we do, dear friends, is to strengthen you.”
