Overcoming weaknesses might sometimes feel like carrying a big load and as much as we strive to overcome them they continue to show up. As humans we all have them, some great and some small but none the less something we wish to be free of! It doesn’t do any good to compare yourself to others. He who appears to be perfect has weaknesses too!
Ether 12:27
“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.”
Without weaknesses we would never know strength. Opposition is part of our Heavenly Father’s plan. It is through those weaknesses that we become humble and experience the kind of growth that helps us turn to God in faith. And then…in time..we overcome and find strength.
Overcoming weaknesses not only humbles and strengthens our soul, it also builds confidence and self esteem. As we feel stronger we realize that change is possible with God’s help!
Through prayer and faith God will reveal our weaknesses and help us to overcome them!
