For when I am weak, then I am strong.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 10/20/2013

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Abba Father, how grateful I am that You accept me where I am. You can use every experience of my life. Teach me to find hope in You. Make me an effective vessel through whom others will find You as their Savior.1 Give me a pure heart, and a steadfast spirit for my one walk in and with You. As a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. I man after Your own heart. Free of judgement and full of forgiveness and love. Strong in You and Your almighty power. (r or l) Covered in Your armor. Knowing that if I get nothing else done each day, I must spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. I must pray without ceasing through the Spirit for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will, and for those You place in my path. And whenever I speak, I must look to You, so words may be given to me, so that I can fearlessly make known the truth in the mystery of the gospel – one walk. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
