2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
We all have weaknesses.
Most of us don’t like to admit it or confess what our weaknesses might be, but we all have them.
Having weaknesses isn’t a sin. It’s just part of our makeup. As children of God, though, we need to learn how to deal with those weaknesses and overcome them, through God’s power.
There are so many different kinds of weaknesses that we may wrestle with; lying, stealing, lust, anger, rage, control, manipulation, doubt, cynicism, drugs, alcoholism, and a thousand others that we can all think of.
It doesn’t matter, though, what it is that we wrestle with, God can help us overcome it, by His spirit, His grace and His mercy.
We need to confess our weaknesses to Him and ask Him to help us overcome them. There may be times when we need to seek help from someone we trust, confessing our weakness to another believer and getting wise counsel.
Sometimes God will put someone in our life who has walked through the very same things that we are struggling with and has overcome them, and they can share with us how God helped them have victory over it.
Proverbs 1:5 (NKJV) 5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel…
Be wise in choosing who to confide in and be sure that person will honor your confidence and your trust in them.
And there may be times when nobody else has to know anything about your struggles, except God himself, as He works in you to help you overcome them and put them behind you forever.
Trust Him. Let Him help you and lead you to victory over whatever it is you struggle with. You may not be able to overcome it on your own, but you can with God’s help.
Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
