STRENGTH IN THE GRACE FOUND IN CHRIST JESUS
“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
— 2 Timothy 2:1
Timothy, Paul’s spiritual son, was enduring challenges, much like we all do at times. Strength does not come automatically; it requires a purposeful pursuit. While it’s reassuring to know that there is abundant grace in Christ Jesus, we must actively embrace and apply it to our lives.
We are called to rise above our weaknesses and failures, choosing instead to draw on the power God provides. Starting each day by reflecting on God’s immense love and counting our blessings can transform our perspective. Gratitude strengthens our connection to the Holy Spirit, who empowers and sustains us. In moments of difficulty, the best antidote to doubt and discouragement is a firm reminder of God’s unfailing love.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Lord, nothing compares to Your love for me. The more I grasp Your love, the stronger I become. You are my everything—my source of strength, peace, and joy. Thank You for Your amazing grace. You have never left me alone; You are always present in my heart, guiding me to victory in every situation. Your plan is perfect, and I trust Your wisdom and care, no matter how overwhelming my circumstances may seem. Thank You, Father, for the unmerited favor You have given me through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen
