How is it that God knows exactly what my biggest weaknesses are? And, furthermore, why is it that He chooses to stretch me in those very areas of weakness?
I just feel so weak and feeble right now. Logically, what He is asking me to do appears simple. But pure logic does not apply when it comes to matters of the heart. My logical mind tells me that I need to move forward. However, my emotions are fighting it with everything they have to hold me right where I am.
I just feel so weak because He is asking me to do something that I cannot do. Well, something that I can't do in my own strength.
And maybe that's the thing... He stretches us in the areas of our weakness so that we will learn not to rely on our own strength, but to rely on Him in order to turn our weaknesses into strengths through His power.
Jesus, I fully admit that I cannot do what You are asking of me on my own. I just don't have the strength. I desperately need You. I want You. Please come and make my weakness a strength through Your power. I willingly lay all of my cares at Your feet.
