Then I Am Strong By Laurie Glass When it all closes in, one problem, then the next, when it feels like too much, and I’m discouraged and perplexed, I find it so draining, my resolve is waning. Laurie Glass has a heart for encouraging others through her writing. She has had many poems and articles published in both print and online publications. In addition, she won the Open Medicine Foundation poetry contest in 2019.
But I find divine help is well within my grasp. As I’m held up by God, my might wells up, I stand and gasp. It’s where the power is as I find my strength in His. I hope to remember as the future unfolds, in the difficult times, His power’s mine to have and hold. When fortitude is gone, when I am weak, then I am strong. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 12:10. “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (NIV)
