Pray for empowerment by the Holy Spirit – true power comes from You.

Message: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you. This profound promise from Acts 1:8 serves as a reminder that we are not called to live this life on our own strength. Instead, we have been gifted with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us, guides us, and enables us to fulfill our divine purpose. When we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, we ignite a connection that transforms our lives, providing courage and boldness to face challenges. This power is not just for personal gain, but to witness, to serve, and to love others as Christ taught us. Embracing the Holy Spirit leads to deeper faith and the ability to impact the world in meaningful ways. Let us seek this power through prayer, communion, and surrender to God’s will. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for the promise that we will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Lord, I acknowledge that I cannot navigate the complexities of life alone. I need Your divine guidance and strength to overcome the challenges I face. Fill me, Lord, with Your Holy Spirit. Empower me to live according to Your will, to embrace the calling You have placed on my life. Help me to recognize the moments when I rely on my own understanding and strength, and guide me back to the truth that true power comes from You. Father, as I seek to grow in faith, I pray for the sensitivity to the leading of Your Spirit. Teach me to listen and respond, to act with courage and conviction. Let me be a vessel through which Your love and light shine into the world. May my life be a testament to the transformative power of Your spirit. Help me to boldly share my testimony and reflect Your grace in my interactions with others. Instill in me the confidence to step out in faith, knowing that I am empowered by the Holy Spirit to make a difference in the lives of those around me. As I anticipate the work You are doing in and through me, I surrender my fears and insecurities to You. Wash over me with the assurance that, with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I can overcome any obstacle. Lord, I pray for the courage to embrace this power fully and to use it for Your glory. May my heart be open to the leading of Your Spirit, and may I continually seek the presence of the Holy Spirit in my daily life. I trust that You are with me, guiding every step and empowering me to live out my divine purpose. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
