A Scripture and a Prayer: “Strengthen By Christ”

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)

Prayer:

Lord, I must admit that this is not an easy prayer to pray. But as David was a warrior, not only in the physical sense but also in the spiritual sense, so must we. We also know how weak we are and how we’d rather avoid confrontation, both with others and in the spiritual world. You have given us Your armor to wear and put Your courage in our hearts. Therefore, search us, O Lord, and help us overcome our weaknesses so that we can be strong in You, because in You we can do all things through Christ, who gives us the strength. AMEN
