Grow!

 

 

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him.  Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

 

—Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)

 

 

 

 

Merciful and Gracious God,

 

Help my roots to grow down deeply into Christ Jesus—so that my life is built on Him.

 

Thank You for the awesome blessing of everlasting life that You gave to me when I accepted Christ as my Savior—and for the compounded blessings that I experience in every moment that I chose to make Him the Lord of my life and follow Him in willing obedience.

 

Help my relationship with Him continue to grow deeper every day, so that I can be built up in Him—the One who holds all things together, who is the source of my life and my strength, and who is my only hope. 

 

Help my faith to grow strong in the truth—the truth that I am taught in Him—and let me ever overflow with thankfulness, so that I am not carried away by sin, but continue in that truth that has set me free.

 

Help my roots to grow down deeply into Christ Jesus—so that my life is built on Him.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Power and Strength

 

He gives power to the weak

   And strength to the powerless. 

Even youths will become weak and tired,
    and young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the LORD find new strength.
    They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
    They will walk and not faint.

 

—Isaiah 40:29-31 (NLT)

 

 

 

LORD of All Power and Strength,

 

When I feel weak and powerless, fill me with Your power and strength! As I patiently wait for You, cause me to rise up high on wings like an eagle, and soar into Your wondrous presence—where I will find the strength I need for my journey forward with You.

 

You alone are the source of my strength! When I am weak, You give me power to keep going! When I feel powerless, You renew my strength by reminding me that You are all powerful!

 

Even the youngest and strongest of men grow weak and tired. Only those who trust in You completely find that new strength—a strength that continually sustains them and doesn’t allow them to stumble and fall in exhaustion.

 

Only by Your power and strength, can we run toward You and not grow weary—walk with You through life and not faint!

 

When I feel weak and powerless, fill me with Your power and strength! As I patiently wait for You, cause me to rise up high on wings like an eagle, and soar into Your wondrous presence—where I will find the strength I need for my journey forward with You.

He Makes My Way Perfect

 

God arms me with strength,

    and he makes my way perfect.

He makes me as surefooted as a deer,

    enabling me to stand on mountain heights.

 

—Psalm 18:32-33 (NLT)

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Thank You for arming me with strength in every season and circumstance of life and for making my way perfect—so I can stand high on the mountain tops of victory with You.

 

Thank You that though life here is seldom easy—and I am daily faced with challenges along the way—You are always with me in those challenges to offer me Your strength as You walk with me through each one.

 

Thank You that You turn each adversity that I face to my own benefit—causing me to learn and grow—so that the way that I travel becomes the perfect path for me to become that person You have called me to be.

 

Thank You that in each challenge You enable me to overcome, and You cause me to be better equipped to walk in the high places where You have called me to live—standing surefootedly with You by my side—having risen high above any obstacles that would hold me back from Your best for me.

 

Thank You for arming me with strength in every season and circumstance of life and for making my way perfect—so I can stand high on the mountain tops of victory with You.

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
