"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Let's give our weaknesses to God. Who knows maybe He wants to use them to:
- humble our hearts and keep us from thinking more of ourselves than we should
- bring God glory when others see our patient endurance of suffering
- root out self-sufficiency and cause us to depend on God daily for strength to overcome
- honor the Lord when we offer God a sacrifice of praise in spite of our handicaps
- start a ministry that endeavors to ease the suffering of others with the same problem
