Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer this line from Charles H. Spurgeon.

“God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength.”

Zechariah 4:6
New American Standard Bible

⁶ Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of armies.

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You. 

Bless You, for the reminder this morning that it is by Your Spirit that we have all we need. While it does not always appear that You are in control, I know that You are, and I know I would be stuck in the darkness if not for Your love and light. Please remove all remaining pride and illusions that lead to thinking I am capable of doing anything without You. I willingly confess my total dependence on You.

Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
