Vulnerability
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
Lord,
I have learned to wear a mask, to hide my weaknesses, to appear strong even when I am not. I fear showing my vulnerability, afraid of being judged, rejected, hurt.
But You show me that my weakness is not a shame. That it is the place where Your strength can unfold, where authenticity can be born, where true connections are created.
Give me the courage to be vulnerable. To dare to say "I don't know," "I need help," "I am hurting." May this embraced vulnerability paradoxically become my greatest strength, the one that makes me human and approachable.
Amen.

Reflection
Courage is also daring to be vulnerable. With whom could you share something true about your fragility today?
For those who hide behind masks and fear their vulnerability.
