KEY TEXT: 1 JOHN 3:22 KJV: “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”

KEY TEXT: 1 JOHN 3:22 KJV: “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”

DRAWING STRENGTH FROM GOD: God strengthens us when we feel weak. There will be moments when we feel unworthy or incapable, but God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. When we rely on Him, His strength fills us, making us more than conquerors. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).

CONFIDENCE IS AN ACT OF FAITH: When we step forward, even when we don’t have all the answers, we show that we trust in God's plan. He honors that faith and leads us into greater things than we could have imagined. "For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 CORINTHIANS 5:7).

WE MUST BE CONFIDENT IN PRAYER: When we approach God with boldness, knowing that He hears us, we can expect Him to move on our behalf. He delights in answering the prayers of those who trust in Him. "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us” (1 JOHN 5:14).

PRAYER: My Father and my God, please I'm only a human with limitations, but trusting you give me the confidence to believe that I could be anything you want me to be to your glory. Please let me not be put to shame, and let your light and glory guide me through, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION: PSALMS 20:7 KJV: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”
