Weak becomes strong

[Shermarie1]

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - December 2

When I am weak, then am I strong. —2 Corinthians 12:10

This is God’s way. We advance by going backwards, we become strong by becoming weak, we become wise by being fools. —F. Whitfield

Christians cite this all the time, that trials strengthen our faith. And there are cases in the Bible to bear it out, The problem I have is that,I think they go overboard with that idea.Like, I think some things are just the result of living in a fallen world, not necessarily a discipline from God.Like,say I have to circle a parking lot several times to find a spot, but another Christian gets one right away. How would circling in a parking spot make me a better Christian?Or if one Christian slips on a bar of soap in the shower, does that make them a better Christian than the one who didn't?Or getting a splinter.So I think we have to find the balance, and see which problems promote spiritual growth and which are just little obstacles.The Bible says,"moderation in all things".Stepping on a tack I don't think makes one a better Christian. I think we need the balance.

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrew 4:16

Father, I boldly come to your throne of mercy with this child’s need. I ask in your mighty power to meet this child’s need. I pray that this child of yours may experience your great love and care for them today. Give them eyes to see your hand of mercy at work in their life. Awaken all their senses to the realization that you will never leave them or forsake them.

In Jesus Christ’s Name I pray,  that you will receive and answer your child's prayers according to your perfect will and timing. Amen

 

[Matthew01]

Through the Lord Jesus Christ, may this request be fulfilled. Amen

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
