A PRAYER FOR INNER STRENGTH
The apostle Paul prayed that the Lord would empower the believers in Ephesus with “inner strength” from the Holy Spirit, whose power is glorious and unlimited. Literally, he prayed for strength for their “inner man,” which is the human soul.
We seem to know more about how to find strength for our bodies. We know to sleep and rest, to eat and to exercise, but we know little about strengthening our souls. Yet God, who made both the inner and the outer man, is the real source of strength for both. And His power is “glorious and unlimited.”
Are you facing something today that requires inner strength? Look to the Lord! He is able to empower you with glorious and unlimited strength from His Spirit.
PRAYER: Dear Father, You already know the outcome of the day before us. We don’t even yet know what inner strength will be needed to face the trials of today, much less tomorrow. Empower us from Your glorious and unlimited resources in our inner selves through Your Holy Spirit. Help us to stand for You and bring glory to Your name this day. In Jesus’ name, amen.
