Devotional
The conclusion of this prayer journey is not the end of prayer – it is the beginning of greater expectation. Our
confidence does not rest in our ability, resources, or understanding, but in the God who is able to do far more
than we can ask or imagine. The same Spirit who strengthens the inner man empowers us to continue
believing, growing, serving, and walking faithfully with Christ
