“O Lord, out of Your glorious riches, would You strengthen me with the power through Your Spirit in my inner being.” Father, You own the cattle on a thousand hills, the earth and everything in it is Yours. And not just Your right of Sovereignty over all things, but the richness of Your character allows You to pour over me all that I might ever need.
So Father, would You strengthen me:
physically – give me Your healing in all the areas of my body where there is illness or weakness. Increase my strength and stamina to be able to do the work You set before me.
mentally – when I need to focus, or clear my mind of distracting thoughts. Give me the ability and the diligence to take every thought captive to You, and to be alert to dangers around me. Do not let my thinking become muddled by the vain philosophies of man or the half-truths and lies of the evil one.
emotionally – give me relief from discouragement, sadness, fear, anger, guilt, anxiousness. Help me deal with my circumstances according to Your wisdom and not be led by my emotions.
spiritually –bolster my faith with the remembrance that no matter what – You are in control – that even if the fig tree does not blossom, no grapes appear on the vine, the olive crop fails and the fields produce no crops – I can still rejoice in You! And spiritual strength to recognize and combat the enemy, dressed in my spiritual armor.
Father, would You do all this so that “You will dwell in my heart through faith.” Help me “be rooted and established in love.”
Lord, like a tree planted by the water, let my spiritual roots go down deep into the soil of Your love so I can draw deeply. Since You are love, You are the source of true love that can strengthen and fill me.
Father, help me understand Your love: “how wide and long and high and deep” it is. I ”understand” Your love in that I read about it. But Father, help me really know it, in my heart and in my spirit; not just in my head.
When I can fathom Your love, I will have wisdom that surpasses knowledge. And I will be “filled to the measure of all the fullness of You.”
Thank You that “You are able to do immeasurably more that I can ask or even imagine, according to Your power that is at work in me.” I give You all the glory and praise, for ever and ever. Amen
