b'I have days when I wonder, \\u201cHow am I going to get through this?\\u201d It feels like the things I need to do and the steps I have to take are too much for me. I wonder if I will be strong enough to keep moving forward.\\nBut in the times when I feel like I am not enough and that I am too weak, I can reach out to God. When I don\\u2019t have the power to take on the things that I need to do, I turn to the One who made me and who definitely has more power than I have. The One who loves me and who came to be with me.\\nGod knows that we need Him, and He wants us to come to Him for help. The Bible makes it clear that we don\\u2019t have to be ashamed of our weaknesses. Rather, God says, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (2 Corinthians 12:9).\\nOn the days when you feel the weakest, God is there, ready to be strong for you. In the times when you don\\u2019t know if you are going to make it, God is still working. He wants to come beside you and give you strength.\\nGod strengthens us through the Holy Spirit. If you\\u2019ve put your trust in Jesus, you have the Holy Spirit in you, empowering you to do what God calls you to do. Sometimes God will call you to press on through difficulties, and other times He will call you to take a rest. Whatever the case, He will be with you through it all.\\nHow amazing is it that we serve a God who not only sent His Son to save us but who is also willing to step into our lives and help us? How amazing is it that He will be strong for us when we cannot be strong on our own? \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 Can you think of a time you felt weak and God helped you? Consider taking a moment to thank Him for this. \\n\\u2022 Where in your life do you need strength today? Do you feel like you can talk to God about this? \\nThe Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Exodus 15:2a (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nMark.4.35-Mark.4.41|Col.1.16-Col.1.17'
