2 Corinthians 1:9

"Instead of trusting in our own strength or wits to get out of it (our challenges), we were forced to trust God totally-not a bad idea since he's the God who raises the dead!" 2 Corinthians 1:9

What a statement.  Paul was going through some intense challenges and what he realized was that these challenges were in fact making him depend upon God.  And why not?  God can do the impossible.

We all go through challenges.  Some of us are trying to find the exit out while others are drop to the ground and weep.  I would suggest you find someone who's been or is going through what you are going through and begin to pray about it.

Pray that you are completely dependant upon Jesus.  Pray for strength and courage. Pray for the help to be a comfort to others going through the same thing.  Because in the end, you will look back and see how God carried you through it.
