power or weakness or both?

Praise the LORD!!!! thank God!!! hallelujah!! wow!! it's being a busy week, none the less a great week!! with birthday celebration!! and today, i got my credit for anatomy!!! i was really desperate or uneasy? i haven't finished studying on thursday morning, just a morning before the exam. i just prayed, Lord, you be glorified, i'll study my best and you'll do the rest. well, it turned out, He's again proved that He's a faithful God!!
when we're busy, we tend to lose focus.. we get so caught up in working or doing things, that we forget that we're doing it for the glory of God. we are always thinking of the things we can possibly do to make things work, we give it our best shot, (which is the right thing to do), but we forget that we are doing it not by might or power, but doing it by the spirit of God. sometimes, we feel inadequate, we've tried our best, given our best, but it's just not good enough. we feel so helpless, so worthless, and we think of the possibility of throwing in the towel, walking away. then comes this still small voice, 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. we know, He's there, when we need a pat on the back, when we need someone to talk to when we're away from home, when we need a break from the things around. there's someone we can always run to. someone we have our full confidence in. someone there to get us back on our feet. someone who is the very reason we live. someone that loves, encourages, guides, rebukes and disciplines. then, we realise that these things happen so that He will be glorified. all we need to do is to give our best and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
we work, knowing that we work to please God, never men. we work, knowing that we're working hand in hand with God. assured that even when we fail, He's there with us and that in our weakness, His power is made perfect! You will never walk alone!

Along life's road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And 'cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep
Sometimes the Journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know

You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
You may feel you're far from home
But home is where He is
And he'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone
The path will wind

And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn
Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember where ever you may

Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully
