Who Is God When You Pray?: 9. God and Paul (Sufficient)

In 2 Corinthians 12: 8-10 we read how Paul asks God to take a certain suffering away from him and this is God's response,

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

God delights when we are not confident in our own ability and we have to rely on Him because it is then that we are truly humble and He receives all the glory for our lives. God is our sufficiency. In the Bible there are so many names for God -
Jehovah Jireh - God will provide
Jehovah Rofa - God heals
Jehovah Shalom - God our peace

The list is endless - but one thing is certain, that God's character is so vast and great that He is able to be sufficient for us no matter what we are going through. He is more than enough for you today.
