It’s easy to feel defeated when we go through difficult times. When it’s hard to fight against the temptations in our lives, we often find ourselves defeated, afraid, or alone. But the good news is, there’s hope! As this verse reminds us, we have what it takes to fight against the struggles we face. God’s Spirit gives us everything we need—specifically, power, love, and self-discipline—to not only face it, but to get through it and become stronger because of it. 

Is there a struggle or temptation you’re facing in your life right now? Ask God to give you the power, love, and self-discipline you need to help you as you work through it.
