In God's Hands2 Corinthians 12:1-10


"He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
(2 Corinthians 12:9)

God's grace truly is sufficient for the struggle. Paul knew his life was in God's hands, and the special manifestation of His power, beyond human understanding, would allow him to press on.
That's God's promise to us also. His grace is all-sufficient for us in life's challenges, battles and tragedies.

As a little child is comforted by placing his hand in Mommy's, so are we when the Lord wraps His loving hand around us.

Not only are you safe in His hands, but also right next to the nail scars, your name is engraved.
(See Isaiah 49:16.)

I am not sure I could have gotten through this day without Bebo Norman's Great Light of the World or this visualization of putting my hand into the hand of my Shepherd.
