I pray... He May Strengthen You With Power..."

Ephesians 3:16 "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being." It is amazing what just a little open mindedness toward God can do! When we turn and take a step of faith in the right direction, God usually starts to effect the change we've been hoping and praying for in our lives. It's like getting approved for credit! God blesses on "credit" because He can see what we are going to do already. He is just waiting for our hearts, minds, attitude to get in line with His plan for our lives! He already knows we will blow it at times. Perfection is not the goal, but progress is sufficient!  We just need to have the right attitude and we can even pray "Grant me a willing spirit to sustain me..", as David did in Psalm 51:12 "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me". This is all in line with the mindset of repentance. In other words, "Okay God, we've tried it my way, I am ready to do it your way". Then the pathway to receiving His glorious riches is unobstructed, you are ready to receive strengthening, power and anything else God has been waiting to give you.
