He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 WEB.
So many times in life, I have had to face complex problems to which I didn't understand or know the answer. It seemed that God would arrange situations where there would be no one else to turn to but Him. Before the Internet became available, people called me for answers that I sometimes didn't have. Of course, there would always be pressure to fix their problem. Sometimes, panic would start rising inside me when I had exhausted all of my abilities and ran out of ideas.
Finally, I would take a break, calm down, walk outside, and pray for a few minutes. Then, the answer would suddenly come, and the problem would soon be resolved. Jobs where I spent some time in prayer first often came off without a hitch. But men hate asking for directions, and it was the times that I began growing cocky and felt like I could handle it that always got me into trouble. Paul said that when he was weak, he was actually strong.
I can see now that God was saying, "Lean on Me." He intentionally put me in high-pressure situations with no one to turn to but Him. He always had the answer. We never walk alone as Christians. We are to be dependent on the Lord every step of the way. The Holy Spirit can teach us "all" things (John 14:26).
God lives inside us, and He wants to be a part of our lives. Yet, often, we get too busy to inquire of Him, though He is right there. Jesus said: "But when they deliver you up, don't be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you" (Matthew 10:19).
This verse reveals a few things:
1) The Spirit of our Father lives inside of us.
2) "It will be given to you in that hour" is the answer that we need.
3) We should not be anxious. It actually can cause us to be spiritually deaf. We must calm ourselves and get quiet to hear that still, small voice.
Lean on God for the answer. He has it. Include Him in your day. While you look everywhere else and exhaust all of your ideas, He is there patiently waiting for you to ask. The Holy Spirit that helped create the universe is available and can help you with this if you only take the time to ask Him.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I lean on You today! Please teach me, Lord, what I don't know. Help me see the bigger picture. Walk with me and talk with me today. I want more of Your presence in my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Amen Lord. Thank you Jesus for this day and for the life You have given me. Thank you Jesus. My vision is slowly coming back after surgery. I can read this with out glasses which didn’t work before anyways. Things are very blurred esp long distance can’t make anything out. Praying God restores my vision- quells my severe headaches. I rebuke anymore complications in Jesus Christ Name. My Iris lifted off my eyeball w surgeon removed old damaged lens. She sutured it to my eyeball W surgeon which I didn’t know was possible. Got stitches out and is holding PTL. Side effect is I’m light sensitive..haven’t been able to read much. But God. He has me..

Lean On Jesus
Amen. I was 18 years old when I realized that God could talk to us through people. I was amazed, shocked and scared at the same time. But as I grew older I was grateful that God showed me that and instead of being scared I accepted that God can be any where at any time. Which is a good thing because he watches over us, love us and protect us. My Dad told me about angels and how God bless them to watch over us wherever we go or whatever we do. It's a good thing that the Lord is always in our lives no matter what happens. God is good all the time.
Good morning. We are on the road so I don’t know if I will be able to check in. Made it to Wyoming and hope to stop in Lincoln, Nebraska next. Continue prayers needed for favor in finding lodging along the rest of the way.

AMEN!!! Dear Heavenly Father, I lean on You today and always according to Your timing and plan for my life, Please teach me what I don't know. Help me see the bigger picture and help me see people they way You see them. Walk with me and talk with me today and always. I want more and more of Your presence in my life. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask and pray, AMEN!🙏
I claim 2. Corinthians 12:9-10 today giving thanks to my Lord and God, my loving Heavenly Father, for His everlasting Grace, who truly is my strength!!! When I was very young boasting with self pride, being so self satisfied, I didn't know the Lord as I do know!! But, then things happened which brought me to my knees, and there was only one way, to look up and see Him for Who He was!! I've many things going on, accumulating health issues over the years like R/A and another form of arthritis, Lupus, etc., and lately major issues with my eye sight that hopefully was diagnosed early enough, and in the early stages. BUT, here I'm boasting in the Lord who is my strength and my stronghold, who allows me to still take care of my husband, help out with the little ones on and off, and much more!🙏 Today's Sunday service was a great blessing to me, and the message, a much needed reminder! I keep on thinking of and pondering "Bloom where you are planted" - thanking the Lord for planting me where HE wanted me to be, the RH ministry and family, my own family and so much more, blessed be His name forever and ever!!! 🙏
Amen 🙏🏻
Heavenly Father, I lean on You today! Please teach me, Lord, what I don't know. Help me see the bigger picture. Walk with me and talk with me today. I want more of Your presence in my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen! ❤️🤟🏻
