Feeling weak?

Consider these words:

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Hebrews 4:15-16

We may think that God is too remote in the heaven to be able to understand the realities of life on earth; the struggles which wear us down, leaving us so weak.

But that is not true. God knows everything about every one of us and cares for us personally. Also, these verses remind us that we come to God through Jesus (Who acts as a high priest) and Jesus is certainly able to sympathise with our weakness.

Jesus came to earth as a human being and experienced the difficulties and temptations of daily living just as we do. He had enemies who despised Him; they were always looking to find fault with him. In his human weakness, Jesus constantly sought help from His Father in heaven.

If you are feeling weak, do not hold back from asking God for His help. You can approach Him with confidence, knowing that He is aware of your circumstances and that He wants to show you His grace and kindness.

Prayer:

Almighty God, I am feeling weak and finding it difficult to cope with everything that is expected of me. I usually try to struggle on in my own strength but I cannot do that anymore. You know what I need to do. Please help me. Thank you.

AMEN.
