Scripture

“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NRSV)

Reflection

You may have learned to rely on your own strength, to endure quietly., to carry your burdens without asking for help. To believe that strength means never bending under pressure.

Yet God reveals a different kind of strength. His power is made perfect not in self-sufficiency, but in surrender. You do not need to prove your strength to God. You are allowed to be human. You are allowed to be supported.

His grace is already sufficient for you.

Reflection Question

Where in your life have you been trying to be strong alone, and what might it feel like to allow God to support you?
