I'm terrified of rejection. When I am not included or when I get left behind, I feel awful. If I were to diagnose myself, I'd say I have a severe case of Kakorrhaphiophobia- Fear of failure or defeat.

This is my personal weakness. This is the thing that breaks me and creates a shaky foundation for me to stand on.

Weakness is a very hard thing to deal with, especially if you're going at it alone, but I'm constantly asking myself, "who will help me, and how will they help?" It gets hard to give weaknesses to God because you never know what He'll do with them or how He will work make them good.

"But 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."

2 Corinthians 12:9

This is my boasting of my personal weakness. I fear rejection, but I will always be accepted in the eyes of God.

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."

1 Corinthians 1:25

"Lift it up, higher

Our God, He's stronger

Boast to our brothers

For He never fails"

Our God has no weakness. Our God lacks any foolishness. Our God never fails.
