When we are weak He is strong.
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness, Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
So when we call on Him in our times of weakness He can reveal His strength and help us through our difficult situations.

There is no comfort in this world for a Christian. This is not my home.
I am longing to go to Heaven and be done with all the pain and heartaches of life.
