Powerless

Dear Lord,

How powerless I feel, which is why I need to look to You always!

You are the remedy for my weakness. Help me to be strong as I look to You and Your strength; keep me strong as I keep my eyes on You.

The best news is that I do not have to be powerless because I can receive power from the Holy Spirit, who will fill my soul and anoint me with the power of Christ.

Lord, I call and You answer. You fill me with Your presence and make me bold and strong of spirit. You do not give me a spirit of fear but of power, of love, and of a good, sound mind. I receive Your Spirit and trust You. I receive Your power, Your love, and Your might for strength of mind.

You have told me to be strong and to have strength of heart. This I can do when I stay in You. I have no need to fear or lose faith, for You are in me; You are with me wherever I go.

Even when I find myself in lack or in a tight situation, You give me contentment. Whether I’m fed or hungry, with or without, I am content because Your Spirit is in me. You and Your Spirit provide my power and strength.

In the name of Jesus, amen.

Look to the Lord and ask for His strength. Look to Him all the time.

1 Chronicles 16:11 NLV

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes into your life.

Acts 1:8 NLV

When I called, you answered me.

You made me bold by strengthening my soul.

Psalm 138:3 GW

For God did not give us a spirit of fear. He gave us a spirit of power and of love and of a good mind.

2 Timothy 1:7 NLV

Have I not told you? Be strong and have strength of heart! Do not be afraid or lose faith. For the Lord your God is with you anywhere you go.

Joshua 1:9 NLV

I know how to survive in tight situations, and I know how to enjoy having plenty. In fact, I have learned how to face any circumstances: fed or hungry, with or without. I can be content in any and every situation through the Anointed One who is my power and strength.
