Succes
Lord, please save us!
Lord, please let us succeed! ~ Psalm 118:25 (CEB)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. ~ Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Our success in life totally depends on God.
PRAYER:
Powerful God, thank you for working in my life. I want to be a part of what you're doing but I get all caught up in circumstances and go rogue at times. Help me to stay calm and to trust you to work things out. I'm going to be one of YOUR success stories. Amen.
