The Strength That Prevails

The world can wear us down, yet Jesus calls us to tap into a supernatural strength. This is not mere optimism or willpower but a divine resilience — the strength to overcome trials and stand firm. Jesus urges us to ask for the strength that prevails, rooted in His life-giving power. The Greek word katischuó means to overcome and prevail. We can only thrive when we allow His River of Life to fill and sustain us, even amidst chaos.

This strength is unique because it is not dependent on our circumstances or our own abilities. It is a gift that comes directly from Jesus, offered to those who seek Him. When we pray for this strength, we are asking God to fill the empty places in our hearts with His presence, enabling us to endure and overcome. The resilience Jesus provides is both practical and spiritual — empowering us to navigate life's challenges with peace and confidence. Reflect on areas where you need this strength and invite God to meet you there.

Reflection:

• What story are you telling yourself about your life?
• How does it feel to know Jesus is Lord overall?
• Where are you running low on strength, and how can you invite God to replenish you?
