2 Corinthians 12:9
BSB
9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
BSB
In the prayer room, I told the Lord exactly where I was. No polished language. Just fear and honesty.
