Day 147
Pray for God’s Strength

“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.” (Ephesians 6:10)

Reflection:
Gideon’s hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat in secret, when an angel calls him a “mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12). Through prayers and signs, like fleece tests, God builds his courage to lead 300 men against a massive army. Isaiah 40:31 says, “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength,” and Psalm 28:7 adds, “The Lord is my strength.”

We all face moments when we feel too small for the task—maybe a challenge at work or a personal battle feels overwhelming. Gideon didn’t start out brave; he leaned on God’s strength, step by step.

Think about a time you felt weak but God gave you what you needed to keep going. That’s His promise; His power shows up when we admit our need. Bring your fears to Him today, asking for His might to carry you. Gideon’s small band won an impossible victory; your prayer could turn your weakness into a testimony of God’s strength.

What giant needs God’s strength?

Today’s Challenge: Pray Judges 6:12 and Ephesians 6:10: “Lord, make me mighty in [this battle].” Act on the first nudge. Gideon’s fleece won wars; yours could win fights.

Prayer: My God, Gideon’s shaky faith shows Your power in fear. Fill my weak spots with Your might, making me strong for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
