For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NET)
Paul is writing his friend and protégé Timothy. In this encouraging letter, he reminds Timothy that the Holy Spirit empowers and directs him. Power for our life comes when we rely on Christ, who strengthens us when we are weak. This power gives us energy, courage, a spirit of love, and the ability to make sound judgments. God has given us the Spirit of love which, carries us through opposition. Strength in God’s Spirit of power and His guidance for self-control. Faith in God empowers and casts out fear.
Are you empowered; do you rely on the power of God to cast away your fear?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love and care. Teach us to seek your direction, rest in Your strength, and rely on Your power. Lord empower us, strengthen us when we are weak. Let us embrace your Spirit of power, love, and self-control. Like the three camellia blossoms are open and closely gathered on the branch, let us have open hearts, closely gathered to the Holy Trinity. In Jesus’ Holy name. Amen
I believe in the power of prayer and would be glad to pray for you.

I do rely on the power of the spirit to walk in a manner that is right with God. Without His power we would not be consistent in standing firm in our faith.
May we always remember that and intentionally lean into that power rather than try in our own strength.
A beautiful reminder Jeanne 💙
