I have a friend whose son's church hosts "Overcomer's" groups for youth and adults. Seeing her posts about the church groups serves as a reminder that we are more than what we are in this moment or in this world. God has called us to greater things and empowers us to be overcomers!
We can look at the world and find reasons to be discouraged. There are people that may try to drag us down. There are depressing events and things that cause spiritual, emotional, and physical harm. Even though we are faced with all of these things here and now, we know that we will outlast this world! When we are with God, we know that He will bring us through these times and will usher us into a glorious eternity with Him. As long as we are with God, we are overcomers!
Be with God and allow Him to empower you as an overcomer!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the strength and power that only You can provide. Help me to be strong and to overcome this world so I can spend eternity with You. In Jesus I pray, amen.
