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.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
A few days ago, I woke up feeling depressed. All my failures, my OCD and just my sinful nature weighed me down, I felt like I was just wasting away. I prayed and I instantly remembered this verse. Just like Paul, I wanted the Lord to take away all my weaknesses but His grace is sufficient. We know that nothing happens that is apart from God. This renewed my strength.
