       Sometimes we don’t understand why we have certain weaknesses in our lives. We feel that a weakness in this or that area is not fair; we can feel that God hasn’t been fair toward us. We see someone else excelling in an area we have a weakness in and this can make us upset. Facebook can frequently do this for people; we see others successful where we lack. Nonetheless, when we grasp we have weaknesses we go to God in prayer and sometimes we’re not exactly sure what we should pray for. We believe we would like to be strong in a certain area, but does God desire us to be strong there? If God makes us strong in our weak area, then can he get the glory when he makes us excel in that area? See, we often look at our weaknesses as bad, but God looks at them as good. He sees opportunity in them to display what he can do in and through us. We usually don’t like our weaknesses, but as Paul has said, we need to learn to become content with them and see them as an area for God to work even at the times we don’t know what to pray in regard to them.
