There are many terms for weakness. Brokenness speaks to the whole area of dashed hope. Grieving speaks of absence of loved ones and erased desires. Even depression can be a symptom of weakness exposed.
We often think that this is a matter of failure. If success is found in keeping ourselves “above water,” then most of us will have swallowed a good bit of the blue stuff, and may even be going under.
I awoke yesterday morning with a sense of tiredness. I could say that I was weak. As I prayed with my wife, there was a wall that was there. The wall holds up all sorts of posters of doubt.
The best prayer is to admit weakness and turn to God for strength.
That’s the best that I could do.
To release control and to trust God!
And the best was for the best. Not a bad way to start the day and to end the day.
Days when you feel like that are hard. I have to turn to God immediately to change my mind and thoughts and concentrate on something else. I’ve noticed how often in those times I will hear or read exactly the right thing for those times. It too, shall pass.
