DEVOTIONAL 00038 WHEN "STRONG" BECOMES A STRUGGLE MAIN TEXT: 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" Rich Lady, have you ever felt like being “the strong one” is more of a curse than a blessing? Everyone depends on you, but who carries you? Even Jesus—God in the flesh—had moments where He needed support. At Gethsemane, He asked Peter, James, and John to stay with Him and pray (Matthew 26:38). The Son of God acknowledged His weariness—but do you? Strength is not in carrying everything alone—strength is in leaning on God and godly support. It’s time to RESET: True strength is grace-reliance, not self-reliance Weakness is an invitation for God’s power You are not called to be everyone’s rock—God is Let go of the struggle to be unbreakable and embrace divine strength instead! Further Reading: Isaiah 40:29, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 61:2 Prayer: Lord, I release the pressure to always be strong. Teach me to depend on Your strength, not my own. Amen. DECLARATION: I am not strong in myself—I am strong in the Lord! I embrace grace over exhaustion and divine power over self-reliance!
