We are living in stressful times. We are facing political turmoil, international tensions, cultural wars, and a pandemic medical science seems powerless to overcome. On top of that we have school shootings and mass murder, smash and grab robberies, and there seems to be no end in sight. Then there’s job pressures, family conflict and domestic violence. Beyond praying there seems to be little we can do as individuals to reduce the stress we are living under, but we can ask the Lord to strengthen our internal supports. As long as our internal spiritual supports are greater than the external stress, we will have peace.
“I pray that out of his glorious riches [the Lord] may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.”
— Ephesians 3:16 (NIV)
Holy Spirit, strengthen our internal spiritual supports that we may stand in this hour. Amen.
