What does the Bible say about weakness in Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible acknowledges believers' weakness but emphasizes that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.

The Bible clearly states that believers will experience weakness; this is evident in the life of King David, who confessed, 'I am this day weak, though anointed king' (2 Samuel 3:39). Despite feeling paralyzed by his circumstances, his weakness does not negate his anointing or calling. In fact, it is through recognizing our weakness that we can fully depend on God's strength. Paul also writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.' This highlights the truth that our limitations bring us to a place where we can only rely on God's sufficiency and grace.
