I Choose to Thank You for my Weaknesses

 

I choose to thank you for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies (physical, mental, emotional, relational) … for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal… for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. What a comport it is to know that you understand the feeling of my weakness… and that in your infinite wisdom you have allowed these in my life so that they may contribute to your high purpose for me.

 
I specifically THANK YOU for :

 
That many time my weaknesses – through my pride and help walk humbly with you…and then, as you’ve promised you give me more grace – You help me and bless and strengthen me. Thank you for all the ways I’m inadequate for they prod me to trust in you and not in myself…and in grateful that my adequacy comes from you

 

Thank you for each disturbing or humbling situation in my life, for each breaking or cleansing process You are allowing, for each problem or hindrance, for each thing that triggers in an anxiety or anger or pain.

 

Thank you also for each difficulty is opportunity to see you work…that in your time you will bring me out to a place of abundance. I rejoice that You plan to enrich and beautify me through each problem, each conflict, each struggle…that through them You expose my weaknesses and needs, my hidden sins, my self-centeredness (and especially my self-reliance and pride).

 

Thank you that You use trials to humble me and perfect my faith and produce in me the quality of endurance…that they prepare the soil of my heart for the flesh new growth in godliness that You and I both long to see in me… and that you momentary troubles are producing for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all, as I keep my eyes focused on You.

 

Thank You that I can trust You to remove or change any of my weaknesses and handicaps and shortcomings. The moment they are no longer needed for your glory, and for my good, and that in the meantime. I am grateful that You look beyond my superficial desire for trouble-free life; instead, You, enjoy your warm fellowship, and become more like your Son. Your grace is sufficient for me, for your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

"Therefore I am well content with weaknesses with insults, with distress with difficulties, for Christ sake for when  I am strong " ( 2 Corinthians 12 :10)
