Amy: “I hate my leg!”
Amy has ezcema on her leg that keeps flaring up. We pray together that God will give her healing. It gets a little better, than it flares up again.
“O God, please answer our prayers! It bothers her so much. I would forego answers to any of my prayers if You would answer this one for Amy.”
“Tell her about my grace instead telling her about healing.”
As a mother, I want everything to go right for my children. But that’s not God’s plan. God does not give me a straight path. Through the trials, I grow. The same will be true for my children.
“God 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.” 2Corinthians 12:9-10
Amy, you will see the power of God working in you as you endure your ezcema. He will give you strength day to day. He will shine through you in your weakness.
