Remember watching Superman and marveling at his extraordinary capabilities to solve problems through strength? Did you wish for the same thing? Imagine the good we could do with his kind of strength!
Here, Paul isn't praying for outer strength. Paul is praying for something quieter but even more extraordinary. Paul is praying that the riches of God's glory give you inner strength -- strength we often don't know we have, strength to endure the struggles that we face on a daily basis, strength that comes from the Holy Spirit working through a community of believers. May God grant each of us this strength, that we may persevere for the glory of God in the world, serving God and serving one another, faithfully enduring to the end.
Prayer for Today: God, fill me with the strength to hope, the strength to serve, the strength to continue to believe. Fill us with the power of your Spirit, that we may continue to let your light shine through us.
