Pray With Purpose Live With Passion

“I can’t do it!” Have you ever felt that way? Maybe you feel that way about your job, marriage, eating healthy, or fulfilling a ministry responsibility. Maybe you know what you need to do, but don’t have the energy or stamina so you say, “I can’t.” 

If you feel that way, you’re not alone. I wish I had a penny for every time I’ve felt inadequate or incapable. When we feel that way, it helps to remember the wonderful truth in Hebrews 13:20-21. God is able. He can equip us. “Now the God of peace, … equip you in every good thing to do His will.” 

Yes, when faced with seemingly impossible responsibilities, we may feel that we can’t fulfill them. In those times, we must remember Who is in us and that God can and will equip us to do His will. 

We can say as the apostle Paul did, “…not that I am adequate in myself, but my adequacy comes from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5). 

Heavenly Father, who EQUIPS me to do Your will, help me be mindful of Your presence and yield to Your Spirit.

Discover the joy of praying more purposefully and living passionately for Christ as He equips you to do His will. Get a copy of Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion HERE. The book can be used as a personal study or a 10-week group study.

Sorry, I’m a little out of breath. I just finished 50 jump squats. No, I was not the one who did 50 jump squats. Rather, it was a lady who had ordered 50 copies of my book, Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion to give to her life group, moms in a prayer group, and workout group. She had called to see if I could sign the books. When I returned her call, I caught her in the middle of her workout routine. Her casual comment told me a lot about her as well as her order of the books. How? Our words reveal our innermost self as Jesus explained in Matthew 15:18. “The things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart.” What do our words reveal about our hearts? If you want your words and heart to be more like Jesus’s words and heart, join me for my teaching sessions on “Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion.” Watch free on YouTube.
