The harshness of despair

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

As I go through troubles and trials in my life right now, I'm looking to God for some help.  I am going through some stuff right now that makes me more sad than I can ever remember being.  I've been up pretty much all night just praying, crying, and researching the bible for help.  As i've said before, I will always be honest on this blog even when I say embarassing things like I just said.

Anyway, I found the verse about 15 minutes ago, and It did comfort me.  My weakness is that I care too much. It's really only a weakness though in today's society.   In worldly terms it is a great weakness, and one that the world will pounce on when given the chance.  However, as the verse says, my weakness causes God's power to be perfect.  I think he is trying to say that all Jesus has done for us is all we need, and anything we see as a weakness in ourselves just gives Him an oppurtunity to show His power and Grace.

Remember this, God sends us trials to test where our faith actually is.  My faith is 100% with Him, and what Jesus did on the cross for me.  Because we live in a sinful world, we can't always know why bad things happen to us.  We do know however that any trial is like a chance to say " God I dont know why this is happening, but I know you and I know you are in control" 

Short and sweet today, but It helped me a little.  Praise God!  I ask for prayer from all of you who read my blog.  I need it.  Thanks in advance.
