Powerful

Lord, you are like a shield that keeps me safe. Your strong right hand keeps me going. ~ Psalm 18:35a (NIRV)

For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power. ~ 1 Corinthians 4:20 (NLT)
Lord,

THANKS: Thank you for using your power on our behalf. Thank you for extending your shield to protect me. You keep me safe.

REGRETS: And you do that even though I put myself in harms way. It's not something you have called me to do but I'm not so careful with my soul. I talk a lot about safety but I can live pretty recklessly. I'm turning from that way of life toward ongoing safety behind your shield.

INTERCESSION: Please keep reminding me of where I belong. And I pray for my family and friends that they, too, would take full advantage of your power.

PURPOSE: I'm going to live by your power.

Amen.
