Enough for every purpose

The Lord never ceases to meet me in my times of greatest need. Last night was one of these moments. For the third time in the past week I fell to my knees in a puddle of tears, after I put the kids to bed. I implored God, begging to Him earnestly, to remove this burden from me. The burden of raising these kids alone.

"God", I cried," I can't do this any longer. Please remove this cup from me."

Three times I have cried to God for this and last night he answered me. He led me to 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, which says...

"Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He said to me, 'My Grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness."

This was my answer. His Grace. It is all I need. It is enough and adequate for the purpose. To raise these kids on my own all I need is His grace and the understanding that it is Him working through me. I must allow myself to be weak, so that He can fill me and be all that I need for everything.

I CAN DO MOST GOOD WHEN I AM IN MY WEAKEST MOMENTS
