Pause
I breathe in the sweetness of your presence and feel your gaze rest upon me. I am grateful that you are beside me wherever I go.
Ask
My God, I approach you for strength, not of this world but that which comes from you alone. For you are the strength of my heart, and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)
Listen
I wait in stillness for your strength to fill me, knowing that your power is made perfect in my weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). You sing to me that your strength makes my feet like those of a deer, able to tread on the heights (Habakuk 3:9). Teach me to trust these wobbly legs; guide me on your path.
Share
Lord, I trust that you walk beside me, but my heart wavers. I cling to your righteous right hand which supports and strengthens me (Isaiah 41: 10); but I fear my steps faltering, I fear my strength failing.
Reflect
Yet my strength was never my own; it always came from you. You provide me with a wellspring of grace and courage, a refuge ever present in times of trouble (Joshua 1:9). I feel your hand in mine; I know your strength sustains, steadies, and supports me. I breathe in your strength. I breathe out my fear. I know you are with me.
