2Corinthians 12:9 "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Our weaknesses should lead us to faith in God's grace because our weaknesses makes it easier for us to depend on God than on ourselves. When we depend on ourselves we draw limited power(Isa 40:30) but when we depend on God we draw unlimited power to achieve anything. Our weaknesses therefore affords us the opportunity of accessing unlimited power for success through God's grace
