“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”#weakisthenewstrong #Hepromisestostay

Brokenness as a doorway
No one craves brokenness…but perhaps we should. The literal translation of verse 9 is that when we are weak, God comes and pitches a tent over us and dwells with us until we are strong. I’m learning to be ok with waiting in my brokenness as long as He stays with me.
Prayer
Father,
Let me embrace brokenness as a doorway to intimacy with You, through the cross of Jesus, rather than something to be feared and ran from. Holy Spirit lead me there. My heart longs for healing and to experience the strength of His protection and love. In Jesus name.
