A Prayer for Energy in Moments of Weak spot
By Keri Eichberger
“And my God will meet all of your wants in accordance with the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19
Typically, I panic below strain. Like a latest incident when my mother, brother, husband (Mike), and I had been caravanning my dad from a hospital in Charleston, South Carolina, on to an inpatient rehabilitation facility 9 hours Northeast again residence to Louisville, Kentucky. Dad was two weeks into a protracted street to restoration after struggling a life-altering stroke. A number of quick hours earlier than we reached our vacation spot, as Dad was seeming to wrestle a bit, Mother determined we should always cease, reposition him, and ensure all was good. My feelings and anxieties had already been compounding to a file excessive, so once we pulled into the closest gasoline station, I shortly escaped solo straight to the toilet. Praying for a big serving of God’s permeating peace so I might return to possibly assist and calm the scenario. I wished so badly for Dad to be higher. I wished assurance all the pieces was going to be okay.
However, generally, I panic below strain. And on this second I felt my weak spot swell and persist. An all too acquainted feeling. I prayed for God’s energy. Determined for his robust palms and coronary heart. Nevertheless it appeared like solely weak spot remained. Do you are feeling weak, or keep in mind once you just lately did? And do you get anxious when chaotic moments are current? I’m fairly certain all of us do. Perhaps you’re weighed down by weariness proper now. Or really feel your battle and fortitude to endure your present circumstances are subsequent to nonexistent. The Bible tells us God’s energy and energy are made good in weak spot. (2 Corinthians 12:9). I imagine it. I’ve seen it, and noticed it that day.
On the gasoline station in who-knows-where-Kentucky, I waited for God’s energy to indicate up inside my weakening soul. Nevertheless it didn’t fairly occur the way in which I used to be searching for. And I hope this may be an encouragement to you at present, too. God confirmed up. Throughout the very minute we pulled as much as a gasoline pump, so did an ambulance on the one beside us. Our gracious God additionally gifted my husband the energy, consciousness, and boldness to strategy the EMT, share our story, and request help. The EMS angels, as we now check with them, reported good vitals and provided us the peace of mind and peace we would have liked to complete the remaining drive to get Dad to the native hospital safely. Thanks, Jesus.
If I hadn’t stored my eyes on the Lord, I’ll have missed how his divine energy was delivered. How he confirmed up, answered my prayer, and offered good energy. Although not particularly by means of strengthening my very own will and manner, however by means of that of one other, to then bolster my soul and spirit along with his adequate peace.
Buddies, once we look to him in our weak spot, he definitely does present up. He might not essentially resolve your personal private weak spot by empowering you with energy in the way in which you might be hoping, although he may. However, many occasions will probably be by means of assistance from one other of his kids (one in all their presents, their abilities, their talents, or requires assist). And his blessing of energy might not really feel extravagant or as supernatural as an ambulance approaching seemingly out of nowhere when wanted. In reality, generally, his blessings are small and delicate. However nonetheless, simply as highly effective.
I pray at present that you may be looking out for a way he’s providing you blessings of energy. I pray that in no matter manner you are feeling weak spot proper now, you will be assured he hears each cry for assist. He hears each request for energy. And he provides each want in accordance with the riches of his glory. (Philippians 4:19)
Let’s pray:
Mighty God, Your energy is adequate for all that I want. And you understand I want so, a lot. each weak spot I’m weathering now and all my moments to come back. Lord, I need desperately to be refreshed and renewed together with your energy and energy in order that I can personally deal with the arduous issues in my life I’m strolling by means of. However generally that isn’t your plan. Typically, your energy comes from others. Or in varieties I least count on. Like a shock encouragement, reward, stunning blessings, or scenes surrounding me. Assist me to maintain leaning on you in my weak moments. Assist me to maintain lifting my eyes to you again and again. And assist me to see you. God, you might be my energy. You provide all that I want. You might have carried me right here, and I do know you’ll not cease. You’ll not fail. I reward you for that. In your Son’s robust title, Amen.
