Upside to feeling weak.

Now we cannot...discover our failure to keep God's law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing). Unless we really try, whatever we say there will always be at the back of our minds the idea that if we try harder next time we shall succeed in being completely good. Thus, in one sense, the road back to God is a road of moral effort, of trying harder and harder. But in another sense it is not trying that is ever going to bring us home. All this trying leads up to the vital moment at which you turn to God and say, You must do this. I can't.

C. S. Lewis 

Truth!
This kind of sums up my frustrations and life lately. There's this constant striving and eventual feeling of defeat. There is our defeat and there is a positive defeat: where we finally stop trying, stop relying on our own doing and our own strength and once again land at the foot of the throne.

Tired and helpless, therefore pleading for God's help. Which is essentially where we should be all along. So in these times of weakness, there are great blessings and STRENGTH! Strength in knowing that we can't nor were made to do this on our own and the answer lies in giving up our own assumptions, pride, and plan and RELYING on God's will for our lives. For when we are weak, we give full reign for Him to be strong in us.

To God be ALL the glory.
