Turn your natural weakness into spiritual strength You may sometimes feel dumb and incapable, but that’s not a weakness if it causes you to depend more on Jesus. That attitude will actually be a strength to you, because when you’re depending on the Lord and turning to Him for the answers to everything—like you should and like He wants you to—then you’ll be strong in Him. That’s the strength of weakness—knowing that you need to turn to Jesus for the answers, and faithfully doing that. Your first reaction should be to pray and ask the Lord about everything. That’s the good kind of weakness—the kind that causes you to not be confident that you know what’s best, and even when you think you know, you still ask the Lord about it and humbly follow His lead. That’s good because then you’re letting the Lord work through you to perform His will. You’re letting Him have control. You’re letting Him make the decisions and do things His way, and that’s when your weakness becomes your strength. You’ll never go wrong by continually turning to Jesus in prayer, because the more you ask Him about things, the more He can work through you. The more you feel incapable in yourself, the better off you’ll be! — Psalm 28:7 NIV - The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. Psalm 29:11 NIV - The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. Daniel 10:19 NIV - ”Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”
