Strength for New Challenges

Transition & New Beginnings

Scripture

2 Timothy 1:7

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and a sound mind.”

Devotion

New seasons bring new challenges. You may feel uncertain, unready, unprepared. Scripture teaches that the Spirit gives power, not timidity. When you face what is new and unknown, you can move forward with strength. You have what you need: power for the task, love for the people involved, a sound mind for discernment. Do not be timid about September's challenges. Step forward with the strength the Spirit provides.

Prayer

God, help me to not be timid about what is new. Help me to walk in power, love, and a sound mind. Help me to meet September's challenges with confidence rooted in You.
