Empowered Living

 


Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.  Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

—Galatians 5:25-26 (NLT)

 



Heavenly Father,

May any claims I make, that I live empowered by the Holy Spirit within me, be evidenced by my humble obedience to His leading, in every part of my life.

Your Spirit, alive and active in me, has shown me the path to eternal life—and, by that same Spirit, you give me the power to live as I should, in the here and now.

So, help me to live every aspect of my life in total harmony with Your Spirit—allowing You to guide my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at all times—that by faith, my life will produce those things that please You.

Let my part, of every relationship that I have, be a reflection of the Light of Christ in me—as I give You all my praise from a grateful heart, as I encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ with joy and in strength of fellowship, and as I reach out to the lost and hurting with Christ-like love and compassion.

Help me to find my identity in Christ alone—so there is no room in me for conceit, no need in me to provoke others, no temptation to be envious or jealous—so that I can live my life with courage, integrity, and godly character, at all times.

May any claims I make, that I live empowered by the Holy Spirit within me, be evidenced by my humble obedience to His leading, in every part of my life.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
