Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.
--- 1 Chronicles 16:11
PRAYER THOUGHT
When we think of the concept of strength, we most commonly associate it with physical power. The two words, strength and power, are overlapping synonyms that carry the sense of an inherent capacity to act effectively, whether physically, intellectually, or morally. This means the one who has the strength has the power to control. This is a struggle in our country today. Everyone is trying to seize the strength and power to control the future.
God is omnipotent, meaning He is all-powerful, and no one possesses more strength and power than he does. Acknowledging this truth can help everyone bring the natural desire for strength and power under control.
ACTION PLAN
Avoid operating in your strength by following this five step process (APTAT - rhymes with CAPTHAT) A: Admit that you can do nothing. P: Pray for God's help for the task at hand. T: Trust a particular promise of God's help. Then, A: Act in faith. Finally, T: Thank God for the help received. This process will let God's strength flow through you to change our country. Pray for God's strength to reign supremely.
