He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,
for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will
rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
فقال لي تكفيك نعمتي لان قوتي في
الضعف تكمل.فبكل سرور افتخر بالحري في ضعفاتي لكي تحل علي قوة المسيح.
2 Corinthians
12:9
Our prayers are not always answered in
the form in which we desire; however they are answered in the assurance of
grace sufficient to support us. Grace
signifies the good-will of God towards us, and that is enough to enlighten,
strengthen and comfort us in all our afflictions and/or distresses.
Some of the reasons why our prayers are
not answered in the way we requested may be:
(1)
The
grace that will be received if the calamity is not removed will be of greater
value to the individual than would be the direct answer to his/her prayer.
(2)
It might not be for the good of the individual who prays
that the exact thing should be granted.
(3)
God has often some better thing in store for us than would
be the immediate answer to our prayer
(4)
It would not be well for us, probably, should our request be
answered exactly as requested.
When
we feel that we are weak in ourselves, we need to go to Christ, and enjoy His
supplies of Divine strength and grace.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord, please teach me
to respond prayerfully in times of weakness. Show me the purpose of what I
am facing, and shower me with Your Divine grace, wisdom and strength, to handle
the situation according to Your will for my life. I pray to You Father in
Jesus’ name, to whom be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen.
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
