In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]”. Ephesians 6:10 (AMPC)

God is the God of all strength and He is the source, and the substance, of our own strength, too. Vitally united to Him, He takes our weaknesses and gives us His strength. He will take your fears and release His confidence; carry away your worries and give you His Word! You can come empty and afraid for He understands how things affect and impact you, and why. The important thing, dear heart, is that you come. 

Lay down all that is weakness and worry in you, and be hidden in the wonder of Who He is. Allow Him to encourage, strengthen, and empower you. You can rest in His love for He is continually at work in your midst, with His absolute best in mind, setting things right, making them new.

His might and power knows no bounds and never ends. He has this, divinely loved one, and He has you. Safe and secure in His strength, He has all that you care about too!

Prayer:

Dearest Saviour and Lord,

I thank You that You know already, all the places I feel weak; all the needs unmet; the worries and the fears. And yet You worry not! For You know the plans You have for me. Plans to prosper me and not to harm me. Plans for a future filled with hope.

Help me to know Lord, in the deepest part of my heart, these plans too. Help me to trade in my worry for Your faith. My weakness for Your strength. My emptiness for You to gloriously fill!

Oh Lord, I put my trust in You. There is nothing greater that I could do.

In Your Holy Name, I pray.
