Don't stop

Won't stop never going to back down, can't stop no turning back now. This is the start of the chorus to a song called won't stop by a group called Shachah. What sparked this entry was just all the prayer requests I have been getting. It seems that lately everyone's request has been for strength. So many are going through so many different things in their lives and it seems like all of these things are just beating on us. When people ask for prayer for strength it seems like they are asking for this strength because they are on their last ounce of strength and are about to give up. In Psalm 46 we can read that God is our strength!!!
So are you about to give up? Do you feel like you can't go on anymore, do you feel like life is just too hard and you don't have the strength to keep on going? If you do then I believe your in the right place. What I mean by this is now that we realize that we don't have what it takes to go through life all by ourselves and that our strength just won't cut it, we can allow God to be our strength. I know it's tough but this is a place we need to get to. We need to come to the realization that God's strength is the only thing that will get us through this tough life. Do you realize that we as believers have the power of the living God in us? If we say that we believe that Jesus is all powerful and that he lives in us then why don't we live like this? That's like complaining we are poor, have no money to eat while there is a million dollars in our bank accounts.
So my prayer for us is that we start living with power because we have the power of the living God in us. I pray that we would live our lives, no matter how difficult or how tough it may seem and start walking in victory. I'm not saying it's easy but what I'm saying is that we need to recognize that God is on our side and that with his strength we can do anything. I pray that we ask God daily for his strength to help us with our every day lives so that we won't stop and wont ever back down and that we can't stop and won't turn back from whatever the world would throw our way.
