God's grace is sufficient and new each day,
Even today.
Find comfort in your seat.
Close your eyes if you're able and comfortable.
Listen as I recite the scripture from 2 Corinthians verse 9.
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.
Take a breath and listen to that one more time.
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.
If you are feeling like you don't have the power,
The strength,
Or control to achieve your task,
Your goal,
Or to reach the next milestone,
Remember,
In your weakness,
God's power is made perfect.
Allow God to be lowered over all,
Even your weaknesses.
Take a moment and consider areas of your life where you feel weak or incapable,
Where you need God's power to prevail.
Now recite the following after me.
Not by my strength,
O Lord,
But yours.
Not by my strength,
O Lord,
But yours.
Let those words settle over your situation as you prepare to leave this meditation.
Take a breath in,
And exhale.
One more.
And this time,
As you exhale,
Let your eyes flutter open.
And smile.
God's got you.
