Grace enough - Power perfected 11012026

We often assume that God’s strength is most visible when life feels manageable—when prayers are answered, burdens are light, and faith feels steady. Yet the apostle Paul tells a different story. He speaks openly of a “thorn in the flesh,” a weakness he pleaded with God to remove. God’s response reshapes everything: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This message reminds us that God’s grace does not wait until we are strong. It meets us precisely where we are weak. Grace is not a consolation prize for difficult seasons; it is God’s active, sustaining presence in the middle of them. Paul learns that unanswered prayers are not signs of God’s neglect, but places where Christ’s power rests most deeply. In a world marked by pressure, comparison, and quiet exhaustion, this truth brings real hope. Our value is not measured by success, productivity, or spiritual performance. Instead, we are invited to come honestly to Christ with our limits, fears, and failures, trusting that His grace is enough for today. Paul’s surprising conclusion is that weakness becomes a reason for confidence rather than shame—because it turns our hearts away from self-reliance and toward Christ. When we are weak, we are not abandoned; we are upheld. The Christian life, then, is not about appearing strong, but about depending deeply. God’s grace is enough—and in that grace, His power is truly perfected. Texts are: Lamentations 3:22-24; 2 Corinthians 12:1-10; Galatians 6:2-5
