Sorrow and grace

I’m on a diet of tears—
     tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
All day long
     people knock at my door,
Pestering,
     “Where is this God of yours?”

~ Psalm 42:3 (MSG)

The Lord said: “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's grace is the only survival tool we need.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your undeserved grace. Forgive me when I slip into thinking that I need more power or control to overcome my problems. Stir again the deposit of grace that you have planted within me. I'm going to trust that the power of Christ will override all my weaknesses. Amen.
