Dear Friends,
It’s human nature to automatically plan and assess our personal “to do” list each morning. It was the first thing I started doing when I woke up this morning. But, maybe prayer should be the first thing I do instead? Perhaps a prayer like this: “Lord, I give you thanks for another day to serve you and your people. You know what this day will bring and what needs to be done. Lead me, guide me and strengthen me to do your will in all things. I trust you and your unending power to sustain me no matter what comes my way. In all things, I give you honor and glory for what you do through me. Amen.” Just wish I would have thought of this earlier. No time like the present! And, thank God, tomorrow is another day! Peace and Love, Scott

Do Not Let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of My Power I place at your disposal. You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality.
Daily Devotional from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly. The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual. Look to me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do.
As your days, so shall your strength be.Ephesians 1:18-20
18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realmsPsalm 105:4 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Deuteronomy 33:25 (NKJV) 25 Your sandals shall beiron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.
