2 Corinthians 12.9

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

When Paul is writing this, he remembers about his sufferings and when he cried for the Lord to help him. He felt weak and he couldn't afford the circumstances with his own ability. He probably searched for more than hi strength, a bigger dimension. Sometimes, even if we think we are strong enough to face a challenge, we need the help of someone who understands us. It can be a friend, a member of a group, family, elders, but also God ! When we take control and imagine we are the only ones to resolve the problem we face, we don't let God come and we want to control what surrounds us. A minimal contral is important and essential to live confidently and secured, and humility is also rewarding. While feeling destitute or overtaken by events, we have the right to admit our weakness to God who knows better than us the key which is needed in every circumstance. He will always open his heart and his arms : FOR YOU AND ME :)
