Message:
Life’s journey often throws us challenges that can leave us feeling defeated. When we are knocked down, it is essential to remember that we have the strength to rise again. The process of getting back up involves recognizing our own resilience and taking that step forward. Even in the higher positions life may place us, it is crucial to remain humble and grounded by acknowledging the presence of God. The act of turning back to God, whether in times of struggle or in moments of triumph, is a reminder of our constant need for guidance, strength, and grace. We are called to be in a posture of humility, knees bent, turning back to God in prayer and trust. In every circumstance, whether we are lifted high or brought low, our connection to the divine sustains us.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and surrender. Life’s trials and tribulations often challenge my spirit, and there are moments when I feel overwhelmed. Thank You for reminding me that even when I am knocked down, I have the strength to get back up. Help me to see every setback as an opportunity to rise again with renewed faith. Teach me that resilience is not merely the act of standing tall in the face of adversity, but also understanding that my strength comes from You.
In times when life elevates me, remind me to keep my heart humble and my gaze fixed on You. It is easy to become consumed by pride and self-sufficiency when things are going well. Guard my heart against the temptation to forget where my blessings flow from. Help me to always acknowledge Your hand in my success and to turn back to You in gratitude. As I navigate the highs and lows of life, instill in me a spirit of humility and grace.
Lord, I pray that I will turn to You daily, whether I am celebrating victories or facing struggles. Teach me the importance of kneeling down in prayer, seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Let my heart remain soft and pliable, always yearning for Your presence. I know that in every moment, You are with me, holding my hand as I journey forth.
I ask for Your strength to uphold me when I feel weak, and Your peace to fill me when I am anxious. Help me to remember that my true position is one of dependence on You, no matter where life finds me. May I continually turn back to You, knowing that in every pulse of my existence, Your love and grace sustain me.
Thank You, Lord, for being my anchor and my guide. I trust in Your plan for my life, and I praise You for the ways You are working, even when I cannot see. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Jackie
