ABILITY

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 ESV

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

1 PETER 5:10 NASB

Take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

HEBREWS 12:12-13 NLT

We are not saying that we can do this work ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:5 NCV

Sometimes, Lord, I question your call on my life. I deeply desire to follow you and do great things in your name, but I don’t trust my own humanity. Thank you for the numerous examples in the Bible of times you chose to use weak men and women to carry out your mission. Thank you for the times in my life when you’ve used me in spite of my shortcomings. May they serve as a reminder that true strength is only found in you. Thank you for having grace with my inabilities and granting me the ability to proceed with what you have called me to do.

Do you believe that God can make you able to do what he asks?

ACCEPTANCE

“The Father gives me the people who are mine.

Every one of them will come to me,

and I will always accept them.”

JOHN 6:37 NCV

The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NKJV

If God is for us, who can be against us?

ROMANS 8:31 ESV

Before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love.

EPHESIANS 1:4 TLB

God, what a wonder that you see me in a way that no one else does. Not only did you choose me before the beginning of time as your own, but nothing can change your mind about me! Thank you for accepting me just as I am, not as how I should be. Help me to accept myself as you do and to know that I don’t have to do anything to earn your love. As I learn to receive your love without condition, I pray that I will love the way you do.

How does God’s acceptance of you help you be more accepting of others?

ANXIETY

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

ISAIAH 26:3 NIV

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.

Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

JOHN 14:1 NLT

Give all your worries to him,

because he cares about you.

1 PETER 5:7 NCV

I call out to the LORD when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.

PSALM 120:1 NIRV

Lord, you know my heart and my every thought. You know when I sit and when I stand. You know my history and my future. There are no mysteries to you. When doubts and fears threaten to overwhelm my mind and body, be the peace that calms the storm. I will remember who you are: Defender, Savior, the Good Shepherd. You are my hope. I will trust in you even when it takes everything inside of me to choose it. I will remember that though I cannot see the way out, you see it all so clearly and you are never overwhelmed. I trust you, God.

What steps can you take to be less anxious and more trusting?

ASSURANCE

To him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory…for ever and ever! Amen.

EPHESIANS 3:20-21 NIV

All of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!”

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NLT

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

HEBREWS 13:8 NASB

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1 JOHN 5:13 NKJV

God, I believe you are who you say you are. Jesus, in you is the fulfillment of God’s promise for salvation. Thank you for being faithful to your Word. In you I place my hope. I ask that you would do more than I can even think to imagine or ask for with my little life. Help me to believe that you will come through even when it’s hard for me to see a silver lining. You are better than my best day and more faithful than the rising sun.

How does believing God’s promises cause you to feel reassured?

AUTHENTICITY

“Remember this: If you have a lofty opinion of yourself and seek to be honored, you will be humbled. But if you have a modest opinion of yourself and choose to humble yourself, you will be honored.”

MATTHEW 23:12 TPT

What should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship. Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.

ROMANS 12:1-2 TPT

God, I am painfully aware of the imbalance in our relationship. There have been countless times when I was unfaithful to you and you still remained devoted to me. I do not pretend to be deserving of your love and loyalty, but I accept them gratefully. You are not impressed by lofty, religious airs as I may fool myself into imagining. What you ask me for is worship from a contrite heart, honestly aware of my need for you. That is how I will come before you today.

How do you see yourself? How do you think God sees you?

BELIEF

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned.”

JOHN 3:18 NIV

To all who did accept him and believe in him he gave the right to become children of God.

JOHN 1:12 NCV

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.

ACTS 16:31 NKJV

“All things are possible for the one who believes.”

MARK 9:23 NASB

“Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

JOHN 20:29 ESV

Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God. You came to earth as a human so I could know what the Father is really like. Above all, you taught me what it means to love without condition. I believe who you were, you still are, and I can trust you with my life. Thank you for the gift of knowing you. I pray that my belief would lead me into greater confidence in my relationship with you. Thank you that you are near and not distant. Whatever happens in the world around me, I believe that you remain constant.

How can you strengthen your belief in God?

BLESSINGS

LORD, you bless those who do what is right.

Like a shield, your loving care keeps them safe.

PSALM 5:12 NIRV
