Praying with Paul: 'God's Perfect Power'

Monday, June 22, 2026

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Dear Father,

Your grace is sufficient for me. Your power is made perfect in weakness.

When I am weak, Christ's power can assist, shine through, lift me up. Please let this happen!

For Christ's sake help me to be content with whatever you let come my way - weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities - for when I am weak, then I am strong!

Let me be strong with your strength even when beset by my own weaknesses.

In the name of him who is my strength, Jesus Christ. Amen.
