Day
10
I
choose to thank You for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies
(physical, mental, emotional, relational) . . . for the ways I fall short of
what people view as ideal . . . for my feelings of helplessness and
inferiority, and even my pain and distresses.
What a comfort it is to know that You understand the feeling of my
weaknesses! . . . and that in Your infinite wisdom You have allowed these in my
life so that they may contribute to Your high purposes for me. I specifically thank You for:
(fill in what you are
specifically thankful for)
Thank You that many a time my weaknesses cut through my
pride and help me walk humbly with You. . . and then, as You’ve promised, You give
me more grace- You help and bless and strengthen me. Thank You for all the ways I’m inadequate,
for they prod me to trust in You and not in myself. . . and I’m grateful that
my adequacy comes from You, the all-sufficient God who is enough!
Thank
You that I can trust You to remove or change any of my weaknesses and handicaps
and shortcomings that moment they are no longer needed for Your glory, and for
my good, and for the good of other people. . . and that in the meantime, Your
grace is sufficient for me, for Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.
Therefore
I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with
persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I
am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
