To Work on My Weaknesses While Also Embracing Them

Sanctifying Spirit,
You bless us with unique talents and abilities, and have created us to be strong-suited in certain areas of life. Thank you for the unique ways you enable us to use our gifts to serve and contribute meaningfully. Just as each of us has strengths, we are also aware of our weaknesses. In those areas of weakness in which we can grow, give us the drive to do so, since our lives in Christ compel us to give our best as we focus on growth and personal development over the course of our lives. Give us a healthy desire for improvement, without crossing the line into perfectionism. Help us also see the blessings of weaknesses, for when we are weak, we are reminded that you are strong. Being aware of my weaknesses helps sustain my humility, which in turn leads me to lean even more on you for strength. So, while I work to grow and develop where I am weak, balance that effort in me with a deeper appreciation for all the ways you generously provide wherever and whatever I am lacking. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Those Who Are Weak in Their Faith

Patient Father,
Send an extra measure of your Spirit to all who are spiritually weak. Provide whatever is lacking to strengthen their faith. Regardless of the cause of weak faith, your Word is always the solution. Where faith is weak as a result of sheer neglect of your Word, bless the weak with fellow believers who are persistent in their encouragement to prioritize the Word. Where one’s faith is weak because it has been battered by trial and testing, grant them relief and redirect their focus away from their struggle and toward their Savior. When temptation is the culprit, either preying on weakened faith or causing it, keep your promise and provide a clear way out, not allowing the temptation to exceed what one can bear. Wherever souls and eternities are at stake, Lord, intervene and come to the aid of the weary and weak, and use me whenever possible on that rescue mission. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
