Through Your awesome power, My Lord, I’ve been rescued from the dominion of Satan and his kingdom of darkness … I’ve been freed from sin and judgement … and, I’ve been given a key to Heaven and eternal life. I am emboldened by the knowledge that Your power resides within me and I possess the faith needed to fuel it. The same power that raised You from the dead now dwells in me so I can share eternity with You. You are my source of power and, even though I am weak, You energize me with the grace I need to become a doer of Your will. The knowledge that Your power lives in me helps me deal with the obstacles I face and makes my impossibilities possible. When Your power is on display, my weaknesses are overshadowed by Your ability to work through me. What I’ve come to understand is that my weakness deepens my dependence on You and causes me to seek Your plan for victory. Your cross no longer has the stigma of being the end … instead, a message concerning new beginnings.
Because of my faith in You, nothing can resist Your irresistible power that resides in me. I am encouraged by the fact that Your power is meant to build me up and not tear me down. Through the strength You provide, I’m enabled to do Your will … I’m given the courage to resist evil … and, I possess the perseverance to win my share of battles. Whether I understand it or not, Your power can do more for me than I can ever ask or imagine. To withstand the tests and trials I face, I must depend on Your strength and armor to overcome them. In Your power, if I am able to endure patiently, I will become a victor over the forces of evil. All authority in Heaven and on Earth was given to You and, now that You reign in Majesty at the right hand of Your Father, I must respond to Your call to fulfill The Great Commission and walk uprightly in the light of Your teachings.
It is through the working of the Holy Spirit that I am endued with Your power to accomplish the purposes You sent me here to perform. When You departed from this earth, You said You’d leave me a helper who would teach me, comfort me and fill me with Your power to do good. Through the drawing of the Holy Spirit and my faith, I’ve been called to be a holy and pure example of Your love and compassion. Through the working of the Holy Spirit You were raised from the dead … and, me along with You. I also find myself empowered by my meditation on Your Word. When I listen to what it says and I obey it, it has the power to change me. The study of Your Word gives me a meaningful picture of who You are and Your might. When I follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and accept the wise counsel of Your Word, I become empowered to do what You did. Since I’ve made You the power source of my life, my ability to overcome has been greatly enhanced. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN.
