The weapons of the strong are smashed to pieces,
while the weak are infused with fresh strength.
2 CORINTHIANS 12:10 (MSG)
Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

PRAYER
Mighty God, I'm grateful for the way you flip my weaknesses into strengths. I don't fully understand how that works, except when I'm weak I have to rely on you to keep me going. Forgive me for the times I fail to see the opportunities in the negative situations and turn to wallowing in my weaknesses. Prop me up and allow me to see how you're doing so in order that I might be encouraged. I'm going to rely on your strength. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
