Our Strength

We are to be strengthened in the 'inner self,' through the power of the  Spirit of God. This is not a one-time strengthening, but a moment by moment reliance upon Him, until we are increasingly able to act upon His guidance, as we learn to listen to His voice saying, "this is the way - walk in it."
It is not by our strength or by our own power or wisdom that we can do all things - but through Christ, Who gives us His strength. Like the apostle Paul... without HIM I can do nothing but I can do all things through Christ, "Not by might nor by power - but by My Spirit says the Lord."

Our Prayer:
Heavenly Father, teach us, Father, to look to Jesus each moment of the day for our strength, and not to rely on our own, imperfect, human abilities and intelligence, for without You we can do nothing. But thanks be to God that as we rest in Christ Jesus, He will empower us through the Holy Spirit, to carry out Your will for our lives. Father, we confess that without You we can do nothing, but thanks be to God that we can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens us, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name we Pray, AMEN.
