Prayer for Strength

It’s okay to have days when we feel weak and tired. In fact, many of those days are the ones when the Lord’s strength shows and provides what we couldn’t muster up on our own. Here is a prayer for strength that we hope gives you encouragement for today.

A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH

Lord, we confess our need for You.

On days when we feel weak, be our sustaining strength. When we don’t have what it takes in ourselves, we need Your power in us to be strong. You promise us that the power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us when we put our faith in You, and we are drawing on that promise now.

We ask that you would fill us with Your sustaining presence to carry us through all that is needed for today. Help us to feel your presence in each moment. Give us Your spirit to guide us as we make decisions, wrestle with difficulty, and wait for answers.

Your presence is sustaining and it is our life. Grow in us an awareness of Your presence walking with us in every step. You hem us in behind and before. Let us feel and sense You with us with each breath.

Thank You for being our Emmanuel, God with us. Your love is matchless and it is our hope today.
