📖 Humbled Yet Strengthened

🌟 Scripture:
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

💡 Reflection:
We often think of strength as something that comes from confidence, success, or control. But God says the path to healing and renewal starts with humility. When we humble ourselves, admit our need for Him, and turn from sin, that’s when His power begins to work in us.

God doesn’t ask us to be perfect. He asks us to come to Him with open hearts, seeking His face, ready to change. When we do that, He promises to listen, to forgive, and to bring healing—not only to our own lives, but to our homes, churches, and communities.

Humbling ourselves isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of God’s strength flowing through us.

🙌 Application:
✔ Spend time in honest prayer—talk to God about areas where you need help.
✔ Ask Him to search your heart and reveal anything that needs to change.
✔ Trust that when you come humbly, He meets you with grace and healing.

🙏 Prayer:
Father, I humble myself before You today. I know I need Your guidance, forgiveness, and strength. Help me turn away from anything that draws me away from You. Teach me to seek Your face daily and to walk in obedience and faith. Heal my heart and use me to bring healing to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🔗 Takeaway:
True strength begins with humility. When we bow low before God, He lifts us up with His grace, power, and healing.
