Strength for the Day

Wherefrom power?

If I awaken already tired, what can I do to become rested?

If I eat and am already hungry, how can I nourish myself?

It is your power, Lord, that will carry me through these days. I cannot create my own energy; you provide it.

Let me accept the power you offer, in whatever form it takes.

Consider:

Can I remain open to your power?
