Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
:
7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9But 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.
10That 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.
When we face difficulties or struggles in life,
we often feel like giving up, because it just seems so impossible to carry on.
We started thinking too much into the problem, magnifying it,
and start calculating the percentage of failure, and its high possibility.
Maybe all odds seem to be against us,
and people around us start discouraging us,
and our mindset starts getting tuned to failure and its horrible consequences.
But let's just put everything into prayer,
and trust that God is watching over us.
Lord will never put us in a situation that He knows we cannot bear,
and even during the toughest of situations, His grace is enough.
When we are pushed to our limits, do we rely wholly on God,
in our times of weaknesses,
do we sense His strength more strongly, and His comfort more reassuring.
It is through such tough times, that we emerge stronger than ever.
Let's not bend under pressure,
but bounce back stronger.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" --Romans 8:31
