God Will Strengthen My Heart

Scripture Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

Observation: I wish I had good courage. It seems I’m always afraid, worrying about what might happen and what I’ve done wrong. My courage needs to come from God and not my own strength, because I have none. Maybe my problem is that I don’t hope in the Lord and I depend too much on my own abilities. I know God has watched over me my whole life, but the devil sways me so easy because my hope isn’t in the Lord, because I feel I’m hopeless most of the time. My heart melts and I feel as if I have no strength left, maybe because I never had any on my own and I need to come before the Father and ask Him to strengthen my heart and to give me courage to win this battle I have each day.

Application: I need to spend more time with my God. I start off in the morning and then loss contact right away. I need to depend on Him with everything that goes on in my life and be obedient to His commands and walk in His light. I need to realize I can’t win this fight, only God can free me from this anguish I have each day. I need to be in good courage knowing that God is fighting the battle and not me. I need to rely on the Lord each day.

Prayer: Dear Lord I need you every day and every moment in each day. I need your strength, mercy and guidance to make it through this life. Please never let go, strengthen my heart and get me through each day in a way that glorifies you.
