August 13 Devotion - Renew my Strength

Those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

  Isaiah 40:31

واما منتظروا الرب فيجددون قوة. يرفعون اجنحة كالنسور. يركضون ولا يتعبون يمشون ولا يعيون

We need to ask for the aid and direction of the Holy Spirit to succeed in:

·       Our spiritual growth,

·       His service,

·       Our daily walk with Him, and in

·       Our daily lives on earth.

The waiting in the above verse is meant to be the kind of waiting as attending to. We need to attend to the Lord in the midst of our weakness. We need to worship Him, listen to His guiding Holy Spirit, be obedient to Him and find His strength in our love for Him.  

“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

واما انا فقد أتيت لتكون لهم حياة وليكون لهم افضل .

John 10:10

We have all experienced disappointments. Instead of dwelling on the past and living in defeat, we can choose to focus on God’s promises because He wants to restore everything that's broken in our lives.
He wants to restore our joy, our peace, our health, and our finances. But here's the key: each one of us must have a vision for himself/herself with his/her life full of joy, peace, health, and living the abundant life Jesus came to give us.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Lord, renew my strength and give me the ability to always attend to You, fill me to abundance with Your Holy Spirit and give me the vision of myself and my life that is full of joy, peace and health. Help me to soar like an eagle over my disappointments and everything that is broken in my life and reach the abundant life that You came to give me Jesus. I declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour. God I praise You, glorify You, and lift You up on high. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Your only begotten Son Jesus, I pray. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
