God's Strength

"I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong."

We need the strength of God daily in our lives. Your life is too stressful to tackle it by yourself; you need the help of your Heavenly Father. Life demands a lot from you—your school work, the pressure to perform and be the best, and keeping your behavior always in check; it is a lot. Life is too hard to do on your own. If we do not look to God to fill us up, and give us strength and wisdom, then eventually we will be empty inside.

God doesn’t want you to be hollow inside or a slave to the demands of this world. God loves you and wants to empower you with His strength in your inner being. Are you receiving what God is freely giving? Or are you trying to do “life” in your own strength? Take advantage of the gift that is being offered; you will never regret it.

Father,

Thank you for Your Spirit that gives me strength. I need your strength. I am weary, empty, tired, and I need you! Fill me up from my innermost being to the point of overflowing. I thank you for this amazing gift.
