Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 56:3
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Philippians 4:13
DEVOTION
Based on Philippians 4
This isn't a blank check for personal ambition but a declaration of divine enablement. Paul writes from prison, having learned contentment in plenty and want. "All things" means everything God calls us to do—endure hardship, forgive enemies, love the unlovable, persist when exhausted. It's not our strength but Christ's strength flowing through us. "Through Christ" is the power source—we're electrical cords, not generators.
This verse promises that no God-given assignment comes without God-given ability. When we feel inadequate, we're right—but Christ's adequacy becomes ours. We can do all things not because we're strong but because He strengthens. His power perfects itself in our weakness.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Lord Jesus, You are my strength when I am weak, my ability when I am unable. Your power flows through surrendered vessels, making ordinary people do extraordinary things.
CONFESSION: I confess trying to do life in my own strength and failing miserably. I've claimed this verse for selfish ambitions rather than God-given assignments. I've forgotten my need for Your power.
THANKSGIVING: Thank You that Your strength is available for every challenge. Thank You for not calling me to do anything without equipping me to do it. Thank You that Your power works through my weakness.
SUPPLICATION: Lord, fill me with Your strength for today's challenges. Help me rely on Your power, not my own. Show me what "all things" You're calling me to do and strengthen me to do them.
PRAYER
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
PSALM 56:3
Heavenly Father, when I am afraid and feel there is nowhere to turn, You are behind me with loving arms wide open. There is no one else I can put my complete and unhindered trust in. I pray that tonight my thoughts would not be consumed with the worries of the world or the strife of culture. While others reel, I want to relax. While others plot their sin, I want to reside in Your presence. While others fall deeper into depression, I want to be lifted up by the power of Your resurrection. Do not leave me, Lord! Hem me in tonight as I sink into the softness of my bed. May I find peace in You and rest for my weary head. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. 🙏🏾
