Here is my devotional from June 23 from Billy Graham that I enjoyed... My grace is sufficient for you. -2 Corinthians 12:9 The prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane is perhaps the greatest, most moving prayer ever uttered. In it our Lord asked that the cup of crucifixion, which was about to be thrust upon Him, might be taken away. But then, in the very next breath He said, Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will (Matt. 26:39). What a prayer! What strength! What power! When the apostle Paul asked God to remove his thorn in the flesh, God did not remove it, saying instead, My grace is sufficient for you (2 Cor. 12:9). Rather than complain or become angry at God, Paul joyfully submitted to Gods will. He discovered that Gods grace truly was sufficient, even in the midst of pain. Christ desires to be with you in whatever crisis you may find yourself. Call upon His name. See if He will not do as He promised He would. He may not make your problems go away, but He will give you the power to deal with them and to overcome them by His grace. and I also liked this quote I read from the previous days devotion: It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent. -Jeremy Taylor: 17th Century Anglican Bishop.
