Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read through 2 Corinthians 12:9 and we lean on God when we have had a long week or are in the middle of a tough season. 

"But how many of us know that is the worst thing we can do for our cars. Running low on gas is not a good quality, it effects the life of the car. One time? No big deal, but prolonged neglect of putting gas in your car can cost you a lot of money in repairs down the line.  

The same thing happens to us. When we run on empty, we stop praying, we stop celebrating, we stop being present. We are irritated, ungrateful, we can't see the blessings in our life. It starts to feel like “it will always be this way” and start saying things like “when is my big break coming”.  

This verse is a gift. It's a reminder. When we are weak, he is strong. There is no one else in the world that can help you the way he can. It allows us to change the narrative. Instead of saying “when is my big break coming” we can confidently say “I know this was a long week, but my God is good. He is making a way for me, and while I am in the waiting I will stay grateful, I will stay engaged, I will look for blessings in the every day because my God is powerful”  

So let us boast in our weakness like this verse says! Let the world know that even when you are tired, weak, had a rough day, a bad week at work, or are in the middle of what seems to be like the worst season of your life, God is good. God is powerful. God is in control, God has the ability to see you through every situation. Give it to him!"
