God Can

b'I can\\u2019t. But God can. I am weak. But God is strong. I am afraid. But He can\\nmake me brave. I can\\u2019t do it alone. But I don\\u2019t have to be alone. In my\\ndarkness, God is my light. In my pain, He gives healing. I love the verse\\nin Isaiah that says if we hope in the Lord, we will soar on wings like\\neagles. We will not grow weary or be faint. God will give us strength.\\nSometimes, we need to be weak so that we can see God\\u2019s strength. Sometimes,\\nwe need to fall down so that we can remember how good it feels to be lifted\\nand held by Him. I can\\u2019t do all the things I want to do. In many ways, I\\ndon\\u2019t have the ability to change my circumstances or make my life turn out\\nhow I want. I don\\u2019t have the strength to do big things. Not on my own. I\\ncan\\u2019t do a lot of things. But God can. When I feel weak, He invites me to\\nturn to Him. When I feel alone, His Holy Spirit reminds me that I am never\\nalone. Jesus came to be Immanuel, which means \\u201cGod with us\\u201d (Matthew 1:23),\\nand He died and rose again so that everyone who puts their trust in Him\\ncould become part of God\\u2019s family\\u2014including me. My God is always with me,\\nlooking out for me, giving me healing, and being the light in my darkest\\nmoments. I can\\u2019t, but God can do all things. \\u2022 Bethany Acker \\u2022 Do you ever\\nfeel overwhelmed by the things you can\\u2019t do? How can times of weakness help\\nus grow closer to God? (Take a look at 2 Corinthians 12:9.) \\u2022 Sometimes,\\nlife feels like it\\u2019s just too much. Yet, through Jesus, God gives us\\ncomfort and the strength to do what He calls us to do. One of the ways God\\nhelps us is through Christian community. Who are trusted Christians in your\\nlife who you can be honest with when you are struggling? But those who hope\\nin the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;\\nthey will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
