The speaker begins by praising God and expressing their enjoyment of fellowship. They pray for God's guidance and declare that He is above all corrupt leaders. They discuss how the scripture "God girds me with strength" can be found in both Psalm 18 and 2 Samuel 22, and speculate on its meaning. They read and discuss verses from Psalm 18, focusing on God arming them with strength and making their way perfect. They also discuss the concept of feet representing decisions and the path of life. They emphasize the importance of making wise choices and the challenges and responsibilities that come with higher positions. So praise the Lord Hallelujah, faithful. God has brought us together again for another Friday class and I Just so much enjoy the fellowship with all of you guys Amen, let's pray father in heaven You are mighty and you rule over all things and the affairs of man God it looks like It looks like corrupt leaders are leading, but God we declare even this day that there is a God in heaven Who's above all and says you better be wise. Oh you kings Lest you make the Lord angry And you perish in the moment. Oh Mighty God, we worship you that you are above all things God tonight as we read and study together God we're asking that you would be glorified and your name would be lifted up and your people would be encouraged We pray in the mighty name of Jesus Amen Amen Amen today As you can see from the group the study is God girds me with strength Anybody know the scripture where this? Title would be taken from It's actually two places Anybody know girds me with strength and makes my way perfect. Hmm. People are thinking Okay, maybe some 18 did some 18. You're correct. And there's a second place where this Some 18 is a duplicate of another place, which is 2nd Samuel chapter 22 I was so surprised I was younger and I discovered that some 18 and 2nd Samuel chapter 22 both are don't know if you call it David's prayer or Or what you would call it exactly because it's not exactly a Prayer, but it's it's worship to God King David and it is such an amazing chapter how he declares how God has subdued all his enemies how God has made his arms strong to be able to He says you have taught my arms To war and my fingers to fight I Always wondered what it meant, you know brother Cassandra. What does it mean? You've taught my fingers to fight I'm not sure God sincerely, I don't know what it means, but I've prayed the prayer He has seen a lot to teach my finger to wall my hands to battle And I've been thinking I'll be glad to know Yeah, I also would be glad the only thing the only thing that comes to me is the you know David and How that he would praise and worship the Lord upon a heart and I consider It very possible. The meaning that David and his heart was how God had taught him how to use music and worship An adoration to God as part of his spiritual warfare Warfare. All right. All right So I will accept that one and I would also accept, you know, the bows and the arrows as a possibility, but I Just think it's powerful. Well, let's do some reading then and Psalm 18 as we're all together. Let's let's read in Psalm chapter 18 We probably have several people who would like to read Ezra. Do you have? The possibility to read tonight as well sounds 18 Yes, sir. I will be reading from Psalm the 18th chapter from verse 30 Right 30 to 40 30 to 40 Okay, it says as for God His way is perfect the word of the Lord is is tried He is a buker of all these that trust in him verse 31 For who is God save the Lord or is there is a rock save our God? 32 It is good that God Me with the strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like like him like his feet and Sets me on the high places. He teaches my hands to walk So that I bow of steel in the broken in my arms You have also given me the ship the shield of Your salvation and your right hand has held me up and your Gentleness has made me great You have enlarged my steps under me that my feet did not sleep. I have pursued my enemies and Overtaken them Neither did I turn again? Tears I were Consumed and man. I have wondered them that they were not able to rise They are fallen under my feet for you have guided me with strength to the battle You have subdued under me Those that rose up against me. You have also given me the next of my enemies That might destroy them that hate me they cry, but there was none Save them Even even to even to the Lord But he answered them not Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind I did cast Them out as the dark in the in the streets You have delivered me from the strings from the strippings of the people and You have made me the head of the heresy Hallelujah, let's go back and look at this who can save in verse 31 Like the Lord who is a rock Saved like our God It is God so here is here is where our title comes from It is God that Girdeth me with strength and make it my way Perfect. So the first question would be What does this word girdeth me? This is the King James and if somebody has verse 32 in an easier to understand Version, let's see who has NIV or something else and can read verse 33 no verse 32. Sorry. That's the Savior. Dear. Are you able to read? Hey Jerry? Welcome Let me read NLT NLT is excellent. Yes God owns me with strength And he my way perfect So he arms me What does it mean to arm? I think it to mean is to eat quip, right? Yes, I like that it so especially to equip for Battle, usually when you arm somebody it's it's referring to a fight or a battle Anybody have a different version? I think someone else was going to read Brother Cassander you have a different one. What did it say? The vice on that version says the God who gathered me with I made my ways best So girded means to put on With strength Yes, gluten. I don't if you die. Yeah, we did. Oh, it's like a belt like a girdle, right? And we can think of Ephesians 6 and the the belt That is girdle about us the belt of truth That's one of the weapons and one of the protections but here David claims that God girded him With what with strength? With strength so to arm somebody or gird somebody already is talking about for warfare To stand strong in a difficult place How many of you have ever encountered difficulty? I'm asking a funny question, I guess because each one of us encounter difficulties and The battle of life, you know either We will rise up by the Spirit of the Lord and overcome or we will be overcome and It takes strength to overcome Amen, it takes strength it takes courage to face Every new challenge. Sometimes there are more Challenges than there are than there is courage when the number of challenges outnumbers our courage What happened to us? Hmm We become discouraged and we need verse 34 We need verse 33 because David is glorifying God that God had Armed him and girded him with strength he had given him a straight path to walk and God had verse 33 So Ezra you read verse 33 and It said you make my feet like Hind's feet Ezra do you know? What is a hind or what are hind's feet? Hind's feet for sure. I don't know about it. Okay Good. Well, then you'll learn something about it Okay, Cassandra. What is a hind or a hind? I call it hind A hind that I believe is probably a deer But the idea is that of the class of animal that runs fast Runs fast, is light footed of light footed that should be Yes, that's a hind So God gave him not only strength for war. So David's talking about his feet Now in Canada where I come from in the rocky mountains There are animals That are called mountain goats and mountain sheep It's absolutely amazing to watch those Goats and those sheep jump in the mountains From one rock to a small little place and they jump it again their protection from the enemies There is no mountain lion There's no people going to climb there. Their protection is their skill in their feet and they know how to Jump from place to place with they call it sure-footed sure-footed They seldom ever make a mistake If they make a mistake they fall to their death but they're born on those little Rocks and ledges on steep steep mountain sides and they find little grass here and there David said God you made my feet now feet in the Bible talks about sure decisions and The path that we take Lord your your word is a light Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Almost always when it's talking about our feet it's talking about our decisions and the direction of our life and And David said in the midst of difficult situations You gave me feet like the hinds feet that I could jump upon high places and never fail It's not the only place that this is referred to but this how that our decisions and our choices and the path that we take You know Ezra in business It only takes one or two bad choices To destroy a good business Right. Yeah, it takes continual good decisions wise decisions In order to have a strong business Or to have a good reputation You know, our reputation can be destroyed as quickly as An animal falling from the rocks some missteps But David was praising God. He says God you have given me You have set me on My high places now the book and the Amplified version When it talks about these high places it talks about the Amplified version says places of Responsibility my places of Responsibility Can we read if anybody has? the Amplified version Habakkuk 3 verse 19. I will read from the Amplified. Thank you, brother verse 18 Yet I will choose to rejoice in the Lord I Will choose to shout in exaltation Exaltation in the victorious God of my salvation The Lord God is my strength my source of courage my invincible army He has made my feet steady and sure like a hind spit and Makes me walk forward with spiritual confidence On my high places of challenge and Responsibility high places of challenge and Responsibility I want to say that I'm aware that many times when the responsibility and the position gets higher The risk and the danger and the wisdom required is also elevated Anybody ever discover that you know when I was single life was easy if I didn't have food. I don't worry But now I have a family my responsibilities and challenges and my child may get sick and my wife may have accidents and this can this and this can happen and so my challenges and Responsibilities are also increased and so then I got some job And that job required me to perform on a certain professional level, which was higher than before. Oh Jesus be my strength be my courage Lord give me strength and grace to walk upon my high places of challenge and Responsibility to move forward and not stand still As you were reading that same year, did you notice that? To move forward and not stand still very often our Temptation is to just hold on People ask you how you're doing. Well, I'm holding in there. I'm holding on Oh Lord help us God didn't call us just to hold on He called us to move forward in strength that strength doesn't come from ourself that strength comes from God alone and God tonight is wanting to encourage us and impart His strength to us that will not just stand still in terror, but will move forward in our high places of Challenge and responsibility Anybody else I'm I welcome your comments at this point. This is strong what the Lord is saying through this Habakkuk chapter 3 verse 19 it compares so much with This one in Psalm 18 that we are reading Ezra can you speak to this? What this is being? Ministered to you at this time. What do you understand from what we've been looking at? Yeah So from this verse from Habakkuk chapter 3 verse 19 Mm-hmm. I'm getting to know God's protection over my enemies hmm Yeah, well because We we go in very many places and we don't know really what our enemies Plan for us, but we find when God has lifted us up and we've passed through their ways the ways of the enemies where they have put their tracks and We find when God has already made us pass through them When we have not put any harm and we finally become victorious so It reveals for me the Lord's strength and protection upon my life That is it man And so like David we just praise the name of the Lord because he's done so much To give us his strength Like the Sunday what what's coming to you at what's ministering to you tonight? Oh Reverend buddy, I Just looked it up again. This used to be a scripture that when I first saw it was an Encouragement, but I'm seeing a new light with regards to the topic No, we'll start. Yes. We used to read from verse 17 where it says though So the six-three does not blossom Could be on the vine and it goes on to say I will rejoice in the Lord and all that and it goes on to say What the Lord does it God the Lord which is verse 19 that was raised. It's my strength So but with the understanding I have man, I see that Why it was possible for the writer to rejoice in spite of the circumstances He talked about responsibilities. It's When you are married you have more responsibilities In my own case, I'm not married, but I remember as a student in the university. I have less responsibilities So those days I would just eat and enjoy God pray read my Bible and all that go to class but after school Things have changed a bit. So what I see in verse 19 is that It is possible for me to rejoice in spite of the circumstance It's possible for me to live an overcoming life to have courage in the face of these responsibilities and challenges Because the Lord makes my feet like his feet So he makes me able to make right decisions because what happens is that many people Make wrong judgments when they are under pressure So that leads to a misstep But with strength which God gives my feet is like the hind feet And I'm able to make the right decision. I'm able to be confident and I'm able to trade upon my height But I wish I had the amplified version To capture what was said in the Bible. I was writing it in the chap Where it talked about to walk with confidence talks about Responsibilities and all that. So that's what I see there. Though the feet tree does not blow up Why I'm able to survive because they say strength You know when we talk about strength, there's a place the Bible says with strength in your inner man There's something that makes a man overcome. That's what I've noticed Something is what makes a man overcome. The Bible says the spirit of a man sustains him in trouble, but a wounded spirit who can be asked That's the only thing that makes a man survive Right. There's a strength from God that makes us overcome challenges handle Responsibilities without being shaken. It is a training from God and equipment from God and I'm in from God that makes that possible I've seen that absence in my life. So and I've seen it present At a different time and I know the difference. I know that there was something lacking And that's why my response at different time was different. So it's a powerful revelation there God makes my feet like his feet And I trade upon my high places and it's because of this that I will rejoice in the road despite Responsibility and it's because of this that I will rejoice in the road despite Responsibility despite the circumstance. One of the days I sat outside and thought about it and I told myself, you know One of the things was why did I come to the world at this time with all these challenges? Then on the second thought I said no For the Lord to have allowed me to come at this time. I have the equipment to deal with it Yes, we were born for such a time like this because the mighty one knows That we are able so instead of crying i'm the morning update and say no I would have been born at another time I wish this was not my situation. I wish I was in social family. We should say father. Thank you. I know I can deal with it That's it. It's a better perspective. I can deal with it. I can handle it God is able to help me handle this. So I look at my challenges differently. I believe I have The capacity to handle it. That's a better way to do it because once I begin to wish It were not there. I'm already defeated In my yes, that's not a good posture Yes All right That's well said I think it's so amazing. Uh how that God gave Strength Um unto david he gave courage He gave that accuracy and that agility You know, these animals are very agile These uh deer And how how god gave david the agility There are some really sticky difficult situations that we face And we can lack courage or we can gain strength in those I want to ask savior where Would your strength and agility come from? In these challenges that you face. Where can you find? strength and That agility that courage to face those things. Um, uh First of all, I want I want to appreciate the lord for it This bible study first and foremost. I've just i've just uh, gotten my eyes open that feet Biblically is uh is is standing for Decision making and direction And this is you know, this is something. Uh, I have read often read And I look at feet as feet and I have had I've always compared the hind feet In terms of firmness In terms of real hard hooves You know, but i've i've not always looked for the application of those feet in my own life, so I want to thank god for this, uh astounding revelation that this feet is about um Direction and decision making so when the bible tells me, uh, the lord is my strength And according to the explanation I see in the bible with this person over of amplified bible it says The lord being my strength is me. It means is my source of courage And my invincible army, so it means to me that No matter what challenge and responsibility The god in me or god and I We are already an unbeatable team We are already an unbeatable team. In other words when any challenge comes Any risk possibility knocks on my door. I just run to the lord god Who is the source of courage for me to face that challenge? And to make my decision making I mean He's the one who will give me the right decision and as long as I make the right decision Like when you when you imagine about this deer There is a way they can jump they can jump a high high shrub and jump and fall the other side But I don't know how they calculate and they know when I jump I will be standing, you know Yeah We have seen people who go to hunt and and for us these people go with nets they they have like three 2.5 to 3 meters nets. They they make them stand and they have poles where they They they put them and they go in the direction where the deers are the antelopes and they Chest them in the directions where they have set their nets They are their traps But I want to tell you that the deer will come and look at the net and will jump once high above so Wow, it it shows me that when I run to god for the decision No matter what the trap the enemy has put for me When god makes the decision for me I will leave the enemy In in shame actually I will leave the enemy in shame because I will have jumped high High above this trap because the decision was given to me by the lord god When when when when he says he makes my feet Like hind feet steady and sure Because you know those animals can really jump high and they land they land perfectly So it gives me a picture that when I make the right decision The outcome is not going to affect me and I thank you for this revelation tonight. Thank you Amen So if we return to where we began in psalm chapter 18 I think we can find much more in there I would like to just look at verse 36. We will see We'll see that the same idea is there in verse 36 Which reads in king james thou hast enlarged my steps under me That my feet did not slip Enlarge my steps under me and so again, it's uh decisions in life uh, it's Authority and responsibility He has enlarged more sure places Put his feet not so narrow and not so difficult a much easier place to to walk The lord gave him larger places To put his feet the steps were larger Amen And thank god for that So there's times Great challenge difficulty But there's a second blessing of the lord where he makes Our steps sure in the dangerous times, but then god also enlarges the steps my goings or My my walkings where I put my feet So that my feet would not slip The lord helps us gives us more sure place to foot put our feet. All right Verse 35 again. How does verse 35 read again? Brother cassandra? Do you have it in front of you? Psalm 18 35 Psalm 18 35 says that has given me the shield Thy salvation and thy right hand supported me and thy help made me great Your help that's good now In the king jade it says your gentleness made me great I'd like to hear this one as well from the amplified. I I if I recall correctly, it's also very interesting Savior if you could psalm 18 35 From the amplified and while he's looking it up, you know, I think it's beautiful that david talked about You know the arms that could bend a bow of steel or bronze to and break it, you know taking a bow and breaking a steel bow amazing he's talking about strength and courage and power and agility and all of that and yet In the midst of it. He says something interesting And king james says your gentleness has made me great. Go ahead pastor savior if you will Yeah, psalm 18 verse 35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation And your right hand upholds And sustains me your gentleness Like it your gracious response when I pray Makes me great what made david great god's gracious response when david prayed David was not perfect man And in the training brother casandu I'm sure you've also experienced god's gentleness his graciousness I have in the training You would expect there would be military training and there would be no room for mistakes or missteps or any other thing If I was going to arrange a training for you, it'd be very harsh And you would come out fully a man and you would come out 40 pounds heavier of muscle And yet in the midst of this Gracious David says your your gentleness your kind responses to me when I when I called out to you when I deserved judgment you you gave me mercy and you Corrected me in your kindness This is one thing that Helped david to learn how to war how to war in the spirit How to make wise decisions The rest of the chapter from 37 and on talks about the might and the aggressive warrior possessing of enemies and all of that but these couple verses reveal such a tenderness Of the holy spirit in his training of us I mean he talks about putting his feet on the enemy's necks and wounding them and You know, this is spiritual as well as natural that he's talking about. This is talking about Responsibilities that he overcame In our everyday life, you know, everything requires us Everything requires us to have faith and have courage I'd like to read uh in the book of hebrews now Hebrews chapter 10 Verse 38 and 39 Now I just Shall live by faith, but if any man draw back my soul Shall have no pleasure in him But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition But of them that believe to the saving of the soul Amen Father casando, what does it mean to draw back? To draw back to draw back means To cast the confidence one had after to cast this The the the kingdom life requires an earnestness You don't have to put this a commitment To draw back means to refrain from that level When people wanted to follow jesus Two people jesus had to portray these in his response to them one says let me go bury my dad Then I'll come follow follow you. Jesus says no Let the dead bury the dead the other one gives another excuse and jesus insisted that they must prioritize the kingdom So what I found out there is it's not as if it was wrong to bury the dead But it should not be such a thing that will stop the following of jesus. He could have done it in silence There would have been a way to do it. After all jesus had visited the mother-in-law peter So jesus was not against one handling his family and doing that but bringing it Will be such a thing as to determine when you will follow the lord then it was an issue for which jesus had to address and Disqualify them from following so to draw back means Not to have full confidence in the lord As one should One that is worthy of the kingdom everything about the kingdom from scriptures Shows that is something we must give top priority. The bible said the kingdom of heaven is likened to a precious pill Which when a man found he bought the whole field Stole all he had and bought the whole field He went on to say it's likened to some other thing I don't remember now, but the man had to say all those to acquire it So if the kingdom is not given such a priority it's an example of drawing back There is the danger there is always a thin line between not growing spiritually Drawing back and falling into apostasy fully There's always a very thin line there's anyone who draws back is already in danger of perdition Hmm And if you find the word perdition, there might be some who don't fully understand the meaning of this word perdition perdition I believe it simply means destruction Destruction yes It's like the case of judas Yeah judas jesus said All that you have given me i've lost none except the son of perdition There was no remedy for judas. So he was destroyed And I think hebrews 5 talks about or 6 rather talks about how that So that's what I see as drawing back. If we do not prioritize the kingdom, it's already a danger for us We begin to start to matter. There's already a danger of perdition around the corner That's what it means to draw back. If any man draw back my soul, we have no pleasure in him Let's see reform. I think it's beautiful because when we face a time of really challenge our soul is is Tempted to draw back And we'll shrink back you put your hand near fire and immediately you'll pull it back Uh, somebody begins to accuse and blame you and all these things and you want to shrink back but uh I love the book of hebrews because not only does this verse talk about shrinking back. It also talks about Drawing near and I like it in verse chapter 4 of hebrews chapter 4 Verse 16 And he's talking about our high priest who's been tempted in all of these things And yet He did not fail And yet he was without sin and then he says so then let us also likewise In chapter 4 verse 16. He says let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace To find mercy and grace to help in time of need One of the reasons we shrink back is because we look at ourself and we realize I can't handle this this place of responsibility and challenge is too great for me And that's normal That's normal to have that feeling but when we feel like this it's time to draw near and not draw back Amen Let's just draw near and not draw back Hebrews 10 38 talks about drawing back but Hebrews 4 16 is one of the places in hebrews and there's others it's just it's beautiful how Hebrews has both draw near with confidence to find grace to help when it's time of need Uh chapter 7 verse 19 says There's a better hope a hope which allows us to Draw near to god Hey Will allow us say god. I'm in the desperate need of you God, unless you rescue me in this point. These enemies are going to overcome me But through my god, I will do valiantly he gives me ice feet To walk through my places of challenge and responsibility I will not sit still in discouragement. I will not draw back or shrink back I will draw near Amen Let us draw near with full confidence Confidence Knowing that we can find help in time of need First chapter 7 verse 25 says he is able To save us completely and forever Those who draw near to god because jesus is always making intercession For us dear ones The lord knows what you're going through even though our soulish Tendency is to shrink back and fear Or to want to give up or not move forward May god Cause us to draw near to gain strength Even realize jesus is interceding for you like for peter that his faith would not fail in the midst of trial and challenge Responsibility and demands upon our life Let's be of those who don't shrink back but of those who draw near And receive from the lord by faith what we need Oh, amen. Amen Amen, god is God is a good god and he will Make our feet like heinz feet to go through this Valley And give us wisdom in every decision So that we don't fall But that we stand strong Hallelujah amen jesus I love how hannah prayed it's in several places in the word of god, but She prayed that my heart rejoices in the lord. My horn is insulted in the lord My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies Because I rejoice in your salvation. There's none only is the lord There's none besides thee neither. Is there any rock of refuge like our god? Oh you enemies don't talk so Proudly or arrogantly? Watch your mouth For the lord is a god of knowledge. He knows what you're saying and by him Actions are weighed And the bows of mighty men are broken and they that stumbled Are girded with strength Let's read that again and everybody can turn to first samuel the second chapter First samuel the second chapter and the first four verses I Just love that he says those that Stumbled are girded with strength strengthen those feeble knees Make straight paths for your feet Amen May you receive strength in the area that you have stumbled before? Amen May you go to the source of strength? Amen Draw near and cry out for god to strengthen you say god. My knees are weak and I often stumble I often stumble I make missteps and mistakes in in my decisions in my words But mighty god, I pray lord gird me with strength and make my lord path like my feet perfect Lord Oh gird my strength. Oh god and my Oh that I not I fail not I fall not oh god Lord that I take sure steps. Oh god Lord, you you are teaching me To war to depend upon you lord Lord a mighty god Lord mighty god Jesus hallelujah, jesus Hallelujah, jesus. Amen. Oh mighty god God you will not fail us you will not forsake us Lord, we will not fear because we will not be put to shame Lord you will not allow us to be put to shame For you are with us god that we would be strong in a good courage Oh lord mighty god, we will not be put to shame. We will not be cast down For lord, you have a good purpose for our lives and we will walk in it Amen We will not be destroyed lord. You will not leave us. You cannot fail us You are with us We will not be afraid What can man do unto us for the lord be with us? Amen act valiantly Amen amen I have a short video less than two minutes. It may be an encouragement to you I can share it Okay All right. Here's something to encourage you. Um Okay, here it is and I will share the link to this in the group as well The holy bible is my code of conduct faith prayer and the word are my weapons of warfare I've been taught by the holy spirit trained by experience tried by adversity and tested by fire I'm a volunteer in this army and I am enlisted for eternity I will either retire in this army or die in this army, but I will not get out sell out be talked out or pushed out I am faithful reliable capable independent if my god needs me. I am there if he needs me to build up the Faith tear down the strongholds of pasatan or just to be gentle caring and kind to those in need He can use me because I am there. I am a soldier. I am not a baby I do not need to be pampered petted primed up pumped up picked up or packed up because I am a soldier No one has to call me remind me write me Visit me entice me or lure me because I am a soldier. I am not a whip I'm in place saluting my king obeying his orders praising his name and building his kingdom No one has to send me flowers gifts food cards candy or give me handouts I do not need to be cuddled cradled cared for or catered to i'm committed I am a soldier. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit When jesus called me into this army, I had nothing if I end up with nothing I will still come out ahead I will win God has he is and will continue to supply all of my needs. I am more than a conqueror I will always triumph. I can do all things through christ who strengthens me The devil cannot defeat me people cannot delusion me Weather cannot weary me sickness cannot stop me battles cannot beat me money cannot buy me Governments cannot silence me and hell cannot handle me. I am a soldier Even death cannot destroy me for when my commander called me from his battlefield I will be promoted to captain and then allowed to rule with him I am a soldier in the army. I am marching. I'm claiming victory. I will not give up I will not turn around. I am a soldier marching heaven down here. I stand who will stand with me I am a soldier who will stand with me Lord there's things that are too much for us today but as we come to your throne of grace and Are expectantly looking for the wisdom and abilities And favor that we need Lord though our enemies come against us god on every side you can Turn their hearts to us. You can give us favor You can strengthen us god that we would not be discouraged And lord we we can win and overcome Father for the steps that we need And the directions that we need to make wise choices Lord, and we confess that we have in some ways we all have drawn back In this area or that area God I thank you to strengthen our faith Strengthen the truth within us god that we would not Make those decisions to draw back anymore But god we would move forward with your gentleness and your power your strength your patience Your kindness to those who are in need Oh god that we would continue to be strengthened by you Empowered by you lord not by might and by power, but by your spirit God you call this to be strong in the lord and the power of his might Forgive us lord for for being Kind of wimpy sometimes And and not courageous lord, we need your courage In these areas that we will not be We believe lord that you are with us And you are for us and you will not let us be ashamed but god We thank you. You will bring us through you will cause us To have those hind feet To move forward and not stand still in the places of our challenges and responsibilities In the wonderful name of jesus we pray Amen
