Strength In Weakness - An All Around Ministry

The Narrated Puritan

We are strong when we are weak because we gain our strengthby prayer, and our weakness is our best argument in supplication.Jacob never conquered until he limped, nay, until he fell. When thesinew shrank, the suppliant triumphed. When you are engaged inprayer, plead your strength, and you will get nothing; then pleadyour weakness, and you will prevail. There is no better plea withDivine love than weakness and pain; nothing can so prevail with thegreat heart of God as for your heart to faint and swoon. The manwho rises in prayer to tears and agony, and feels all the while as ifhe could not pray, and yet must pray—he is the man who will seethe desire of his soul.
