Greater is He!

 

You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

 

—1 John 4:4 (NASB)

 

 

All-Powerful God,

 

Help me not to be moved when I see the evil that surrounds me, and let me never be afraid—but rather, let me stand firm in the assurance that Your power to overcome the evil of this world resides in me, by Your Spirit and Your Word!

 

Thank You that I am one of Your children—that I come from You, that I am made in Your image, and that I am chosen by You to be the focus of Your unending and unfailing love and affection.

 

Thank You for the Christ-raising power of Your Spirit—that greater power that lives within me—that broke the grip of sin in my life and allows me the freedom to choose to walk in the victory that Christ won for me over evil.

 

Thank You for the Truth-giving power of Your Word—that power that reveals to me who You are and lets me understand who I am in Christ—so that I can exercise the authority given to me, in the Name of Jesus, to counter all the lies of the enemy.

 

Thank You for being the Greater One—the great “I AM”—the only One who is worthy to be praised and worshiped forever!  Let Your glory be seen in my life as You demonstrate Your power over the evil of this world—even through me!

 

Help me not to be moved when I see the evil that surrounds me, and let me never be afraid—but rather, let me stand firm in the assurance that Your power to overcome the evil of this world resides in me, by Your Spirit and Your Word!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
