Peter reminds us that when we serve, we do so with <em>God’s strength</em>, not our own. Ministry is not fueled by self-effort but by divine supply.</p><p>When we rely on God, service becomes worship. The pressure to perform is replaced with trust, and the glory goes where it belongs—to God alone. Serving then becomes a joy, not a burden.</p><p>God is not asking you to do everything. He is inviting you to do <em>something</em>—with His strength.</p><p><strong>Prayer:</strong></p><p>Lord, I surrender my fears, my weakness, and my limitations to You. As I serve, supply what I lack so that You may be glorified. Amen.</p><p><strong>Action Step:</strong></p><p>Before serving this week, pause and pray: <em>“Lord, I depend on Your strength, not mine.”</em></p>","author_name":"Various"}
