"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” — Isaiah 40:29
Maybe the words powerless, defenseless, helpless and hopeless are familiar because they describe the ways you have felt in the past. Maybe you’ve been abused, abandoned, wounded, or victimized. The good news is that these words don’t have to define you. When you ask God to heal your soul and you follow as He leads, you move from being powerless to being powerful, from being defenseless to realizing that God is with you, from being helpless to having the Helper (the Holy Spirit) living in you, and from being hopeless to being filled with hope and faith. As God heals you, sorrow turns to joy, and out of weakness comes strength. You exchange every negative thing you have suffered for all the good things God has for you. You are no longer a victim, but a victor.
