Ephesians
6:10. “.........Be strong with the
Lord’s mighty power.”
She had tried so hard and
yet, it appeared as if it was a losing battle. The daughter she had put so much trust in was straying from all she had
been taught. She had tried to be an
understanding Mom with listening ears, careful not to fall into the “shock”
mode reaction at anything. She had spent
time with her, even taken her for dinners and shows and made a special effort
to be a friend! Now she felt betrayed,
almost abandoned because she had done everything her own Mother had neglected
to do and what for?
She opened her Bible to
Ephesians 6 verse 10 and there was the answer.
As she read, God opened her eyes to the realization that it was not by
her own power that anything could be accomplished but His Word instructed her
to be strong with “The Lord’s power”. She had been carrying the burden to no avail,
there was no need to carry it anymore because Jesus had already bore all the
burdens when He carried the cross to Mount Calvary
We need to give our burdens
to Jesus because He has already taken care of them and left them at Calvary . He knows our needs and waits
for us to accept his answer. Everything
is ultimately in His hands if we allow Him to take it.
Prayer for
today: “Heavenly Father, Today I want to give you my burdens and rid myself of
the weight of them. You are my strength
and you are a mighty power and you can handle anything I submit to you. Please forgive me for thinking I can solve
problems and change people on my own.
Help me to give you all my concerns and trust you to take care of them. And Lord, help me not to feel guilty when I
give them to you and not to take them back.
Thank you, Father, for taking my worries and giving me peace. In Jesus name, Amen.”
Amen
