For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him to serve you.
2 Corinthians 13:4

I find it comforting to know God's power can give us strength...
How has God given strength to you ?

In very strange ways. I had doubts many years ago and I continually prayed for God to show me a way back to him. I asked him to help believe in him again. Then one school night I couldn't get to sleep, so I turned on the TV to a favorite show, Futurama. The episode had to do with God (Godfellas). And there was one sentence that really got me.
"If you've done things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
I broke down crying at 2am b/c of a TV show! A TV show that is sometimes rather crude and is not for younger viewers. I mean that fact that I was crying over this show, just proved the statement even more true.
So at 2am on a school night, God helped me have faith in him again through Futurama. That is probably the strangest way I have found strenght in God.

My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12.9

God has never been impresses with strength or self- sufficiency. In fact, he is drawn to people who are weak and admit it. Jesus regarded this recognition of our need as being "poor in spirit" Matthew 5:3. It's the number one attitude he blesses.
If God only used perfect people, nothing would ever get done, none of us is flawless. Isn't that great, that God uses imperfect people is encouraging news for all of us:)

I find it comforting when God let's me know that he is there for me, and always by my side to guide me.
We do have the ability to use God's unlimited powers through Jesus Christ when we do the right thing at the right time.
