By the grace of God

The Lord said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 9

Vulnerability and weakness remind me of my humanity. In humble awareness that I can do nothing without God, I turn to the Lord whose grace gives me the power to keep going.

Today I will ask the Lord to grace me with mercy, love, trust, and courage.
