In 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verses 3 to 5, Paul says, "I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." There's a strength available to us, and it's only available when we become weak. Humankind typically despises faith, seeing it as a form of weakness. People like things that are more visually powerful, satisfying and tangible. God is not after strategists, persuasive words or human wisdom, but after seekers who come to Him in faith. Now, it may not make sense to the carnal mind, but God's intention is to reveal His power through our weakness so that the world may know where all true power comes from. Remember this in your time of weakness and remember, it's time to pray.
