Are You Trusting God’s Strength in Weakness?

God’s presence and promises are your unshakable foundation in every trial. No matter how overwhelming life may feel, He is with you, guiding, protecting, and providing for your every need. True humility comes when you trust in His strength rather than your own, allowing His power to work through your weaknesses.

Today, ask yourself if you are relying on God or on yourself. Are you leaning on His unchanging promises? Surrender your fears and trust Him to sustain you, knowing that He is always faithful to keep His Word.

"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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
