Lord, when I’m strong,
my faith is weak
and Your will
I do not seek.
For, on my own,
I think I can do it
and I make no time
to wait and sit.
I believe I know,
what I’m to do
so I rush off Lord
without You.
But, when I am weak,
my faith is strong
and I seek Your face
all day long.
For, when I admit,
alone, I can’t do it
it’s when I’m lead
by Your Spirit!
~~~~~
“For when I am weak,
then am I strong.”

I love this poem. A great poem on reliance on Him rather than our own strength.

Yes, our reliance on Him is an essential element of our faith. For without Him I know I can do nothing that will bring Him glory! ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~

This poem describes my last month beautifully. It’s wonderful to be led by the Spirit, but it often comes through times of weakness and human frailty.

You are so right David . . . weakness to the world is a source of failure . . . to God it is the source of our strength. Amen and Amen . . . let us remain weak for His sake 🙂

Great poem! I love that his strength is made perfect in our weakness. May we have the courage to admit when we’re feeling alone and vulnerable, and allow the love of God to comfort us.

Our weaknesses are not the problem, our problem comes from not going to God for our strength and turning to the things of the world instead!
When I admit to myself I cannot do it, that is when I know God can and will!! ~ Blessings ~
