16. 2 Corinthians 12:9

“But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’”

  1. Healing does not always mean the removal of suffering.
  2. God’s strength sustains us even in weakness.
  3. His grace is more powerful than our limitations.
  4. Faith enables us to rely on God, even when healing is delayed.
  5. God’s purpose is fulfilled through both healing and endurance.

Poem on 2 Corinthians 12:9

Stanza 1
His grace is enough,
More than the strength we lack,
More than the weight of suffering,
More than the trials that press,
For His power is made perfect in weakness.

Stanza 2
When the thorns of life remain,
When the pain does not relent,
Still, His voice whispers peace,
Not in the absence of struggle,
But in the midst of endurance.

Stanza 3
His power upholds the weary,
His strength carries the broken,
We do not stand by our might,
But by the grace of the Almighty,
Sufficient through every storm.

Stanza 4
So I will boast in my weakness,
For His strength is where I rest,
No wound too deep for His love,
No burden too heavy for His hand,
For Christ is enough.
