We depend on God to work in us by praying for His will and strength to manifest His grace through our actions.
Dependence on God is fundamental in the life of a believer. Philippians 2:13 assures us that 'it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.' This highlights the belief that any good we accomplish comes not from our strength, but from God’s grace working in us. Through prayer, we seek His guidance, asking Him to cultivate both the desire and capacity to fulfill His will in our lives. By consistently looking to Christ and relying on the Holy Spirit, we can exercise our faith in ways that glorify God and benefit others. Ultimately, this dependence leads us to live productive lives that shine as lights in a dark world.
