Good morning, everyone! Welcome to another episode of EBC’s Prayer Podcast. I hope you are all doing well. 

Today, is October 30, the 303 day of the year. The Lord is reminding us of how quickly time passes and the importance of making each day meaningful.

I am your host, Dr. Victoria Haddad, the First Lady and Prayer Leader at Elyon Bible Church Apostolic in Salem, NJ. It's a joy to connect with you another day during our prayer.

Today, we’ll focus on the powerful verse from Philippians 4:13. And it reads: “I can do all things through Christ, which strengthened me.” 

The Lord is reminding us that with faith and trust in him, we can overcome challenges and achieve goals we never thought possible. 

As we pray, let's reflect on how God’s strength is manifest in our lives, and how He is encouraging us to take bold steps on our spiritual journeys. 

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father. Our Lord, God, and Savior. Father, we come before you with our hearts filled with admiration and gratitude for your strength and guidance throughout our lives. 

You are a God who will never leave us, and never forsake us

For you have the power to give us strength when we are weak and courage when we need assurance. 

Lord, we recognize that it is through your grace that we will find the courage and perseverance to confront the challenges ahead. 

Your word is reminding us that “We can do all things through you, Christ our Savior, because you strengthen us.” 

Father, today, we are holding on to this truth as an anchor for our souls. We are placing our trust in your power and wisdom. 

Help us to seek your presence and allow your light to empower us to achieve what once felt impossible to achieve.

Lord, life can feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes, we feel weak and unsure of what the day has in store for us. 

There are times we face uncertainties and challenges that test our faith, trials that test our understanding, and moments where we wonder if we have enough strength to keep going on. 

But you are reminding us that we need to rely on you completely. 

Father, thank you for reminding us that we are not alone. It is not by our own power, not by our own wisdom, and not by our own ability, but by your power that we are still alive. 

Your power resides within us, enabling us to endure, to overcome, and to walk in victory.

Lord, equip us with the strength to rise above our circumstances, for it is through you that we can endure hardship. 

Shape and mold us into the saints you destine for us to be. Help us to resist temptation and become the saints you want us to become. 

Lord, remember those who are weary, those who are burdened by responsibilities, those who are carrying grief, those battling sickness, those wrestling with anxiety, and those who are standing in the middle of uncertainty. 

Father, you are the restorer of our souls and the strengthener of our faith, you are our firm foundation, our source of courage, and our unshakable hope.

Jesus, you walked on this earth as a fully human, yet you were entirely heavenly. You knew what it meant to be tired, to be misunderstood, to suffer, to be sorrowful. And yet you conquered sin, death, and the grave. To show us what it truly means to endure and overcome. And because you live in us, that same power can strengthen us to overcome. 

Lord, when our thoughts wage war against us, when fear whispers lies, when the enemy tries to influence us who are too weak, sometimes we are too broken, and sometimes we are too far gone, but you are reminding us of your word. 

Lord, we don’t always know what tomorrow holds, but we know that you hold tomorrow.  In you, we have grace, we have power, and we have hope to face whatever comes our way. So today we are praying with confidence. Give us the strength to take one step at a time and overcome the battles we can and cannot see at times that come our way. 

Lord, sometimes our bodies grow tired, but you are assuring us that our spirits will rise because you will empower us. 

Lord, by your strength, we will not give up; by your strength, help us not give in to fear; and by your strength, help us not be defeated. 

Lord, thank you for reminding us that your strength is made perfect in our weakness. When we are empty, thank you for filling us. Strengthen every parent, give them patience and love. Strengthen every student in school, especially those who feel unprepared, give them clarity and peace. Empower every worker, give them confidence, ensuring that you are God, especially when they feel valued and not overlooked. 

Father, strengthen those who are struggling with pain, give them comfort, and remind them that you see everything, you see every tear, and you are the greatest healer, cause you are God.

Lord, when we are broken, send a healing touch throughout our minds, bodies, souls, and spirits. When we are weary, renew us from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet. When we are lost, send guidance our way. 

Father, we close and thank you for your gratitude. Thanking you for reminding us that no matter what we face, no matter how heavy the burden, no matter how high the mountain may be. You, Lord, are with us, and we are not facing it alone. 

For you are living in us, moving in us, and working through us. We declare with confidence today and every day: “We can do all things through Christ, who strengthened us.”

In Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious name, we pray… Amen.

I want to thank each and every one of you for listening to this prayer podcast. Please have a wonderful day, and by God's grace, we will pray again tomorrow. God bless you.
