Meditations on "Powerless"

Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me.

He (God) gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

He (God) sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have.

In our state of powerlessness over our addictions we wonder if God could possibly value us as a person and be willing to give us a chance at life.

Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

It’s wonderful to be outside during the summer. There’s so much beauty to be seen all around us.

Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?

For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation.
