Give Me Strength Lord

Scripture: Matthew 26: [41] “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Observation: I do want to do the things God has called me to do but I’m always making excuses. Even last night we didn’t have to serve so we stayed home to relax. This is the second week we have done this. Why do I think relaxing is when I sit around and do nothing? Instead I could have been with my brothers and sisters getting fed and worshiping my Lord. I am so weak and I need strength do fulfill the purpose God has given me.

Application: I need to do what I know is right and ask God for the strength to do it. My Lord is always there and wants me to use the gifts and talents He has given me to bear fruit and I can’t do that lying on the couch. My heart and spirit is to finish this race well and I need to push on for the prize and I need the strength only my Lord can give me.

Prayer: Help me please Lord. There are days I feel I can barely move and all I want to do is sleep. Give me the strength do run this race in a way that will honor you. I do love you, may I live this life proving that.
