2 Corinthians 12:9-10<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But he said to me,\u00a0\u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\u201d\u00a0Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ\u2019s power may rest on me.\u00a010<\/a>That is why, for Christ\u2019s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.<\/i>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Buffeted from forces I cannot see,<\/p>\n

Nothing of myself able to fight back.<\/p>\n

Reeling I stand, looking likely to die,<\/p>\n

Surely I will come apart and next for me is doom.<\/p>\n

Knowing that I have no power to save myself,<\/p>\n

Yet I know that victory is even now pulsing within.<\/p>\n

I am glad that I am nothing, that I am weak,<\/p>\n

In a state of brokenness, victory wells up within.<\/p>\n

Yes, being broken by the enemy,<\/p>\n

Victory from God is all over me,<\/p>\n

His sweet scent heals me!<\/p>\n

When the enemy beats me,<\/p>\n

God heals me!<\/p>\n

As I break,<\/p>\n

God builds me up!<\/p>\n

As I am emptied,<\/p>\n

God fills me to overflowing!<\/p>\n

When I am thoroughly defeated<\/p>\n

God makes me invincible!<\/p>\n

As the enemy thinks victory over me is complete,<\/p>\n

What is unbeatable within me God raises!<\/p>\n

When I am dead and the world has buried me,<\/p>\n

God resurrects me!<\/p>\n

I simply cannot lose, I can never die,<\/p>\n

Eternal victory is forever mine,<\/p>\n

Through my Lord and Savior Jesus!<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord always!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has\u00a0shown you, Oh man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you, but\u00a0to do justly, to love\u00a0mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/i><\/p>\n

Numbers 6:24-26<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
