This Week's Challenge
This week, take time to reflect on the power that is available to you through Christ. Ask yourself:
* What areas of my life do I feel weak or powerless?
* How can I tap into God's strength in those areas?
* Am I relying too much on my own efforts and not enough on God's power?
Take two specific steps this week to apply the truth of this message:
1. Spend time in prayer, asking God to reveal His power to you and help you tap into it.
2. Identify one area of your life where you feel weak or powerless, and ask God for His strength and guidance.
