Lent Day 4- "My Grace is enough"

My grace is enough

  "Therefore, to keep me from being too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated. 8 Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, 9 but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. "
2 Corinthians 127-9

Finding hard to surrender? The more we try to surrender our cravings or life, the more we find ourselves failing. We decide not to shout at anyone in a day but find ourselves the most shouting in that particular day. This is because we get tempted in areas we try to surrender to lord or try to recover from.  "Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?  Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! " (Romans 17)yes only Christ can save us..His grace is enough. Hence instead if trying to fight alone..let us pray for grace of god to overcome our weaknesses.

Pray for lords grace..He says "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” ...whenever I am weak, then I am strong.(2corinthians 12:9). This realization will always keep us humble. We can never be perfect alone but only in Him. The purpose of Our weaknesses ,when revealed by lord helps us from the sin of pride. In all times draw more closer to lord pray for His grace without which we are nothing.



Lord fill us with your grace. Help us to remain humble so that not our pride but your power is manifested through us . Amen

Action point
Recite Psalm 73:26 always.
