Nothing can keep us from grace, except for our own foolish pride. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul wrote about talking with God, and His response for Paul's problems was "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." God was reminding Paul that even if he was having problems, he wasn't go through them alone. God grace was sufficient for Paul's needs as it is for ours. When we are brought about as low as we can go, God's strength brings us back up again. A key to success through God is to let go of what you think you can do and let Him do a work on and through you. Reading on, we find that Paul's advice to Corinth was not to hang our head and give up when hard times come, but to glory in them because that's when Christ can shine through our lives and we are made strong through Him. 1 John 4:4 says..."greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." You can be an overcomer, you can have victory, but not by yourself; we overcome through Christ because he has overcome already (John16:33). The Psalmist says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord" (Psalms 121:1-2).
