2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness”

Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Devotion

The Apostle Paul had some kind of infirmity, and He prayed to the Lord that this thing might depart from him.

But the Lord Jesus said to him, ” My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Therefore, regardless of our situation, our infirmities, our problems, you can trust this principle below.

Whatever brings us to Jesus for help and healing,  in weakness, in sickness, will be our greatest decision and will lead to success and victory.

Jesus’ strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Prayer (for you)

Eternal Father,

Thank You for today and for Your loving watch care and protection from day to day.

Please be with me and my family today, keep us safe and secure under the shadow of Your Holy Wings.

O Lord Jesus, I give You thanks and praise that Your Strength is made perfect in my weakness.

When I am weak, when I have issues, You are my strength and my refuge in my time of need.

O Lord, thank You for Your amazing grace that saves to the uttermost.

Please help to always look to You for guidance, direction, protection and strength.

You are my Saviour, my Healer and the Author and Finisher of my faith.

I praise and adore You, glorify and bless Your Holy Name.

To God be the glory, great things He has done.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

What a Friend we have in Jesus.

All our sins and griefs to bear.

Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?

Cumbered with a load of care?

Thou will find a solace there.

Romans 8:18

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Devotion.

” As children of the Sovereign God, we are never victims of our circumstances. Although we may go through trials and problems, we can be confident that the Lord has a purspose in them and will show His glory through them.

That does not mean that we don’t really hurt when these trials and problems come our way.

But instead we declare, ” the Lord God’s blessings are worth the sacrifice and obedience. We cling in hope in the Lord and eagerly expect the rewards that accompany our faith. ” Quote Charles Stanley.

And knowing that we have the blessed hope of Jesus’ return, when there will be no more sin and suffering.

And the Creator God will make all things new.

So let us rejoice and be glad in the Lord.

Jesus is coming soon.

And keep guiding me now and forever.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Devotion.

” In the Old testament times, the Holy Spirit came upon chosen men and women of God to enable them to accomplish His will. But no one ever imagined that He would actually take up residence in Christian believers, as He does today.” Quote by Charles Stanley.

2 Corinthians 2:14

The Apostle Paul says,

” Thanks be to God Who always leads us to triumph in Christ.”

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Devotion.

We walk the Christian journey by faith in God and faith in Jesus, our Saviour.

Exodus 33:13

Devotion.

Acts 3:19

Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

Devotion.

” Repentance involves two steps: (1) sincere pain and sorrow for our sins; and (2) the honest decision to repent and abandon sin.

In the Bible repentance is almost always connected to forgiveness. We genuinely repent; God forgives. It is that simple.”  Quote from SS Lesson.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, Who was, Who is and Who is to come, the Almighty.

I give You thanks and praise for Your goodness that leads me to repentance.

O Lord, I repent of every sin, iniquity and transgression and I humble ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing.

O Lord, I am sorrow for my sins and ask You to help me to live a godly and holy life that is pleasing to You.

Yes, Lord, I repent and I humbly ask You to convert me and refresh me, make me wholly Thine, totally devoted to You, and Your Holy ways.

So that when You look down and see us, may You see me as someone who understands and seeks You.

Thank You for sending Jesus to save me – to save the world from sin and the arch-enemy of our souls.

Your Plan of Salvation is so wonderful – You made a way for us to be saved from sin and destruction – when there seem to be no way.

Because Lord Jesus, You are the “way, the truth and the life” and Your precious blood cleanses us, saves us, make us part of the family of God, and gives us eternal life.

Lord Jesus, we would have been lost without Your sacrifice of love to save us.

I do not have the words that are adequate enough to express my gratitude, my thanks to You for what You have done for me – for the human race.

I will just say.

To God be the glory, great things He has done.

I thank You and I love and adore You.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

Hymn.

To God be the glory, great things He hath done.

So love He the world, that He gave us His Son.

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin.

And opened the floodgate that all may go in.

Chorus.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.

Let the earth hear His voice.

Praise the Lord, let the people rejoice.

O come to the Father, through Jesus, the Son.

And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.

2.

O perfect redemption the purchase of blood.

To every believer the promise of God.

The vilest offender who truly believes.

That moment from Jesus, a pardon receives.

3.

Great things He has taught us,

Great things He hath done.

And great our rejoicing, through Jesus, the Son.

But purer and higher and greater will be.

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Praise the Lord! Amen.
