“Do I belive God is All I Need?”
- His response to my concerns about sharing my struggle came with words of encouragement from 2 Corinthians 12:9.
Paul says,
9 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.
- Because of this verse I am discovering, that coming to God in weakness
allows His power to work in me.
Galatians 6:2
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.
1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
I must admit that in my weakness I struggled with this thought
“Did I really believe that God was enough for every part of my life?”From David Guzik commentary:
“Millions of people have memorized this psalm, even those who have learned few other Scripture portions.
Ministers have used it to comfort people who are going through severe personal trials, suffering illness, or dying.
For some, the words of this psalm have been the last they have ever uttered in life.”
(James Montgomery Boice)

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

in it.

Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
