STRENGTH: "You will find strength in the Lord your God." 1 Samuel 30:6

When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord His God. 1 Samuel 30:3-6

Prayer:
In my grief and distress, I turn to You as David did, O LORD, for You are my Rock and unfailing strength. Lord Jesus, please lift me up and stir my heart to keep seeking our Heavenly Father whenever distress drains my strength and thoughts of hopelessness enter my mind. Holy Spirit, remind me that Christ is my hope and His undeserved favor will always be sufficient, for God’s power is made perfect in my weakness. Use me today to help strengthen the faith and comfort the spirit of someone who is distressed and grieving from pain. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
