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
of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.(Romans 11:6)
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (Ephesians 2:8)
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was
not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though
it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. (I Corinthians 15:10)
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that
we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)
There is no competition to talk to God....
We who have cried rivers of tears, God knows why.
Peace be with you
