from New Beginnings Podcast · host Ana Tan

In this Episode 42 of the New Beginnings Podcast, I share a very personal story from our church’s prayer and fasting week. My husband and I joined while still recovering from the flu, emotionally tired, and spiritually weak. In the middle of fasting and prayer, we had a major fight that pushed me to the edge of quitting.There was a moment when I could not feel God anymore. I felt exhausted, discouraged, and overwhelmed. But in that moment of weakness, God met me in an unexpected way and reminded me of this truth from 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”This episode is for anyone who feels tired, worn out, or ready to give up. It is a reminder that your weakness is not a failure. It is an invitation for God to step in and carry what you cannot.In this episode, we talk about:• Struggling through prayer and fasting• Feeling weak and wanting to quit• God’s grace meeting us in our breaking point• Finding strength in weakness through faith• Why suffering is not wasted and how God uses it to grow usIf this episode speaks to you, feel free to share it with someone who might need this reminder today.✨ Join our New Beginnings Community on Facebook👉 https://www.facebook.com/newbeginningsofficialPH🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform and follow the show so you do not miss future episodes.Let’s grow in faith together, one new beginning at a time 🤍
