Biblical Answer

When I'm no longer able to be the strong one, I must remember that my strength is not my own. As a believer in Jesus Christ, I am called to lean on Him and His strength, not my own. In times of weakness, I must acknowledge my limitations and surrender my need for control to God's sovereignty. This is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength, for it shows that I am willing to trust in God's goodness and power, even when I am unable to muster up my own strength.

As I face my limitations, I must look to Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of my faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is the one who gives me the strength to persevere, even when I am weak. I must remember that Jesus is not a distant figure, but a present and active participant in my life. He is the one who has promised to never leave me or forsake me (Hebrews 13:5), and He is the one who has given me the Holy Spirit to guide me and empower me (John 16:7). When I am no longer able to be the strong one, I must look to Jesus, who is the source of all true strength.

In times of weakness, I must also remember that God uses my troubles to make me a better person (Romans 5:3-4). He is not interested in making me strong in and of myself, but rather in making me strong in Him. When I face my limitations, I must look beyond my present troubles and trust that God is working everything out for my good (Romans 8:28). I must trust that He is using my weakness to teach me valuable lessons and to draw me closer to Himself. And I must remember that I am not alone in my weakness, for I have the promise of Jesus' presence and strength to guide me through every trial and difficulty. (1 Corinthians 10:13) In the end, it is not about being strong or weak, but about being faithful to God and trusting in His goodness, power, and sovereignty.
