Sometimes God allows a season of depression in our lives, because in our despair we will finally turn to Him. In times of hardship, we learn to cling to God more tightly as we realize that He is exactly what we need.
You might be familiar with the story of Paul asking God many times to remove a hard situation for him (a “thorn” in Paul’s side). But rather than removing it, God said, “My grace is sufficient for you.” In today’s post, learn how you can trust that God’s grace is sufficient for you too.

God, Your grace is sufficient for me. Glorify Yourself in my life, and make Yourself strong in my weakness so I can learn to be closer to You.
How can I let God’s grace be sufficient for me?
As you go through your day today, allow God’s grace and strength to carry you through your low points, thanking Him for overcoming your weakness with His strength.
Sometimes pain in your life brings the opportunity for God to be your strength. When you let His grace be sufficient, you find that you are stronger. The more you lean on Him, the stronger you become. This is one of the reasons why God doesn’t want you to stay in your depression—because He wants you to grow closer to Him. So how do you open up to God and find that intimacy? The next post will help you learn how to use praise as a tool to draw nearer to God.
