God, our hearts’ cry is to remain reliant on you and to stay effective in the calling that you have placed on our lives.
Lord, how can we stay effective if we won’t humble ourselves and continue to draw our strength from you? We will miss the mark every time. When we go it on our own, we are constantly overwhelmed with fear and doubt. Our joy is sapped from us and the weight of world seems like it will crush us. But we don’t have to live this way!
Father, we turn to you. We will turn to you daily and lay it all at your feet. Whatever happens with the issues that we face, we will face the outcome knowing that you are the Lord of All, and that you love us dearly. We will turn to you when times are hard and when times are good, and we will continue to bow down at your feet and say, “It’s by your grace and mercy, Father. Thank you!”
We know that you are faithful, God. Your promises are never empty. We may not understand what happens, but we don’t need to understand right now. When we meet you face-to-face some day, we’ll see the beauty of your awesome plan. For now, we just choose to trust you. We will remain effective because it’s not by our power that we will overcome. It’s by the power of your Spirit within us!
