May you be strengthened with all power, according to
his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy
أنْ تَتَقَوُّوا بِكُلِّ قُوَّةٍ نابِعَةٍ مِنْ قُوَّتِهِ
المَجِيدَةِ،
فَتَصَبِرُوا وَتَتَحَمَّلُوا المَشَقّات بِفَرَحٍ.
Colossians 1:11
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
إِنِّي أَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، فِي الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي
يُقَوِّينِي.
Philippians 4:13
I will make them strong in the Lord, and they shall
walk in his name,” declares the Lord.
وَأُشَدِّدُهُمْ بِالرَّبِّ فَيَسْلُكُونَ بِمُقْتَضَى اسْمِهِ،
يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.
Zechariah 10:12
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no
might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young
men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be
weary; they shall walk and not faint.
يَهِبُ الْمَنْهُوكَ قُوَّةً وَيَمْنَحُ الضَّعِيفَ قُدْرَةً
عَظِيمَةً. 30 إِنَّ الشَّبِيبَةَ يَنَالُهَا الإِعْيَاءُ وَالإِرْهَاقُ،
وَالْفِتْيَانُ يَتَعَثَّرُونَ أَشَدَّ تَعَثُّرٍ، 31 أَمَّا الرَّاجُونَ الرَّبَّ
فَإِنَّهُمْ يُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّتَهُمْ، وَيُحَلِّقُونَ بِأَجْنِحَةِ النُّسُورِ.
يَرْكُضُونَ وَلاَ يُعْيُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلاَ يَتْعَبُونَ.
Isaiah 40:29-31
If you are like
me, then you probably sometimes struggle with feelings of inadequacy in the
face of a task that God has set in front of you. Inadequacy’s roots are fear of
failure, fear of disappointing people and more importantly fear of disappointing
God.
As believers we
need to ask God to strengthen us through The Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit is the supernatural tool
God has given to equip and enable us believers. The power of the Holy Spirit is
to do the work God calls us to accomplish. God has given us a spirit of power,
not of timidity- 2 Timothy 1:7
Serving others, loving our enemies, building up one
another in the faith, sharing Christ, and exercising our spiritual gifts are
possible only through the Holy Spirit’s power. We need The Holy Spirit’s
support and power to live the Christian life, to be loving, kind, gentle,
patient, joyous, self–controlled, and peaceful.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, Adonai, please guide me and strengthen me to change my ways so as to
rely totally on Your wisdom and counsel through The Holy Spirit; whom You sent
to me in the name of Jesus. LORD, I pray that out of Your
glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner
being, so that Christ may dwell in my
heart through faith for all endurance and patience with joy. I
shall wait for You Lord to renew my strength to mount up with wings like
eagles; to run and not be weary or faint and to do all things that are
according to Your will through Christ’s strength. Thank You Father for Your abundant blessings and deep inseparable love.
God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, I lift You up
on high, and glorify Your Holy Name. I declare Jesus as my
Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Him be the power, the glory, the authority, the majesty, the
blessings, and the dominion before all time, now, and forever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
