Today Somebody Prayed for You
Today's Bowl of Encouragement by Herb Cotton
Bible Text for Today's Meditation and Application:
2 Corinthians 12:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
King James Version (KJV)

My Reflections on the Word of God Today:
9 but He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for[My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness." Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.
Amplified Bible (AMP)

Do you tend to focus more on your weaknesses than to use and grow based on the strengths you already have at your disposal?
If you are redeemed, why not be encouraged, uplifted and inspired by this verse from the Apostle Paul?
Galatians 2:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Do you believe and know in your heart that God's grace is sufficient for you? If so, then why not celebrate your weaknesses rather than worry about trying to fix them? Don't you know that God is able and that He willing to help you complete the work that He has begun in you?
Philippians 4:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now is the time to take our eyes off of the temporal; the things that are dying, and fix our eyes upon Jesus and the things that are eternal.
1 Corinthians 13:13 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
13 Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love—but the greatest of these is love.
Prayer Offered to Our Father in Heaven:
Father, hallowed be Your name; the name that is above every name on earth and in heaven. Father, we can never repay You for the grace You have given to all who believe and receive the gift of redemption we have in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-5 King James Version (KJV)
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
