2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT) For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

DEVOTIONAL:

Often, we find ourselves entangled in worries, anxieties, and fears. These feelings can be overwhelming, but it's important to remember that they do not define who we are in Christ. The Holy Spirit has richly gifted us with a spirit that is far from timid. He has gifted us with a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline.

This incredible gift isn't just for our personal comfort or gain; it equips us to be warriors in God's kingdom. We are called to use this power to impact the world around us, to bring light into the darkness, and to be vessels of God's love and grace. When we truly understand and embrace this, our faith shifts. Your faith transforms from something you hold onto for protection to a powerful tool you actively use to make a difference.

So, if you're feeling powerless or overwhelmed today, remember that you have the Holy Spirit within you. You're not alone.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank You for empowering me through Your Holy Spirit. Help me to walk in Your power, love, and self-discipline today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

ACTION STEP:

Identify one area where you have felt powerless. Write it down. Now, pray for the Holy Spirit's power to manifest in that area. Take one courageous action step in faith.
