“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 Cor. 12:9 ESV)

I heard someone say recently, “God’s Grace keeps pace with what we face.” That’s so true! There is nothing you can ever be confronted with greater than God’s ability to cover it completely with His Grace! In fact, the Bible passage at top says it plainly, “My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” At the end of this Bible promise about God’s wonderful Grace, Paul says, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” In other words, God’s Grace is powerful when you are weak! What a huge promise!” 

Rest on God’s power!

“so that your faith would not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.” (1 Cor. 2:5)

Do not be afraid!

“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious," he said. "Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!" As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, "Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.” (Dan. 10:19)

Christ gives you strength!

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” (Phil. 4:13)

Therefore…

“I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.” (2 Cor. 12:5)

“I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,” (Eph. 3:16)
