Lord, I can conquer in your strength. There is no failure
with you. But first, Lord, I must live in you. I must allow you to define my
days, and define every area of my life. If I want to live my life to your
fullest, then I must die to myself and allow you to live in me. Conquering power
is your promise. I will know victory.
That victory is often souls that have been won. Sometimes
it is healing of an illness or resisting the enemy. Often it is in a sacrifice
that others might not even know. But there is victory in the sacrifice–just as
there was victory in your sacrifice. Often the victory comes as I lay down my
own desires and needs for the sake of another.
The world might call me a failure, but you know my
victory is in sacrifice. It is in the moment I release my own desires, my
feelings, my frustrations, and let go of my own self, I discover who you really
are. In my weakness I am suddenly strong. In my sacrifice I find your victory.
No weapon against me shall prosper
because I have discovered the power in sacrifice.
Philippians 2
