Theme: God’s empowerment

---

When God requires, he also empowers. When Jesus faced troubles, He found a quiet place away from the crowd and prayed to God for strength. We follow Jesus’ example by first removing ourselves from temptation and then ask God for help. We also have the aid of the Holy Spirit, who comes alongside us in our time of need.  Even as the air we breathe empowers our bodies to function, so the Holy Spirit empowers our spirit to obey.
