Today I want to continue talking about the “Serenity Prayer” because I believe many of us are struggling with the times we are living in.  It can be particularly depressing as the days, weeks, and months drag on. If we haven’t previously seen God in action in our lives, it is difficult to trust Him in our world.

I have seen God’s action in my life, and that keeps me from much worry. Still, accepting the reality of current limitations can be daunting. I feel I am losing my freedom and dignity in making my own choices.

My Weakness and God’s Strength

But, the thing of it is, I can develop an angry and cynical attitude, or I can become humble before God, admit my weakness, and find my strength in Him. Paul said, in 2 Corinthians, “When I am weak, then I am strong.”

My inability to change things doesn’t mean I’m resigned to the worst. My strength comes in praying for God to intervene, knowing that He can change all things in His time, if and as He wills.
