How to Rely on God’s Power When Affliction Persists — a Nighttime Prayer

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” —2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father, I’m so grateful that your transforming power is at work in my life. As much as I want to be strong enough to power through challenging circumstances or break bad habits on my own, Your word tells me that it is Your power that completes the sanctifying work You started. Thank you for the past victories that remind me of Your faithfulness when I’m feeling defeated. Help me to trust You to work all things for my good and Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.
