I Am Weak

2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I struggle with that struggle that is common to much of mankind and to most men.
I have a pretty strong, recurring fear of failure.
I forget a lot of things—just in general.
I struggle with loneliness.
I'm very sensitive sometimes, and it surges in really unexpected situations.
Some people are amazing at being persistently productive; I don't have that.
I am no good at navigating. (I'm getting better but way too slowly.)
I'm terrible at planning.
I'm pretty arrogant sometimes.
I'm pretty incompetent sometimes.
Almost always, I'm tired in one or more layers of my being.
Sometimes, I'm plain lazy.
I have so many dreams, but I pursue them halfheartedly.
In certain ways, I'm pretty smart, but there are a lot of ways where I'm really quite dumb.
I fear a lot of other miscellaneous things on occasion.
I don't think I'm competent or responsible enough for much of anything.
Often, I don't think about it which is great; sometimes, I just feel like a dumb, bumbling kid.

I didn't share these things to garner sympathy or anything like that.
I was just feeling weak today and wanted to share.
