How To Find New Strength When We Feel Weak

“You’re stronger than you think.”

I was mid roll on the ab roller when my burn boot camp instructor sat down next to me. “Come on,” she cheered. She extended out her hand to a length that would push me a said, “roll it out to here each time.” Guess what? I met the goal she set for me. And then she said…

“You’re stronger than you think.”

I just thought you might need to hear that today too. You ARE stronger than you think. For some, getting out of bed today even seemed like an unreachable goal. But hey, you did it. For others, you ARE able to achieve that work goal, start that hard conversation, or ask God do accomplish the impossible on your behalf. 

Transparently…
I’m in a season where I feel so weak. The words I’ve actually spoken about myself recently are “frail” and “feeble.” But God keeps reminding me that “when I am weak, then I am strong’ (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Not because I am powerful, but because in my depravity I’m most reliant on God’s strength. And God is STRONG.

So… I see you on the mat… in the ring. You’re giving this all you have and you feel like you’re too weak to go on. But picture God sitting down next to you and saying those same words— “You’re stronger than you think.” Let me remind you that you can do hard things. If for no other reason than because Christ is mighty in you. The God of the universe is fighting on your behalf. 
Think About It:

What are some areas you feel weak?

What does it look like for you to ask Jesus to be your strength in these areas?

How can you remind yourself today that, in Christ, “You’re stronger than you think”?

Our Prayer:

Lord,

There are areas where we feel so weak. Please come and be our strength. When we don’t feel like we have any fight left, step out onto the mat and be our defender. Remind us that, in Christ, we are mighty. We are more than conquerors. Relabel our frailties as opportunities for you to be our Father that gently speaks over us, “You are stronger than you think.”

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen
