Crosses to Bear

Yesterday I went to a women's Bible study breakfast with a close friend. Each month my friend's church holds a women's breakfast where the older women cook breakfast dishes and teach a message to the group. Yesterday's message was about depression and how the word of God can help dissipate the gloomy cloud of depression. What I took home from the study was this:

We all have crosses to bear. Bearing crosses, I understand, is part of God's plan for us, which is part of His bigger plan for the world. We are not perfect, we are fallible, and we can find strength to carry our crosses in Him. By bearing our crosses with grace and faith in His plan we make God happy; furthermore, we make Him stronger, which turns out to make us stronger too!

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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

What crosses do you bear? What keeps happening to you, or what has happened to you that you deal with everyday? Are there crosses that you are trying to carry by yourself? Are there crosses you are bearing that would be easier with His help?
