I Am But a Jar of Clay. Empower Me, Spirit of God

Father, You are my everything. Your faithfulness to me astounds me and Your abiding presence gives me strength to face life’s trials. Some days I feel very fragile and vulnerable, but then I remember … You are the Potter and I am the clay. I am but a jar of clay filled with the power of Your beautiful Spirit.

I may be pressed on every side, but I am not crushed because You are within me. I cannot be driven to despair unless I look away from You and rely on my own strength because You are my hope and my joy. When I get knocked down, You pick me up and put me back together again.

I Am Clay in Your Hands God, but the Process … Oy!

Lord, You are the Potter, I am clay in Your hands. You shape me and mold me into a vessel for Your glory, so it’s good … all good. There is purpose in the shaping, but mercy goodness! Sometimes the pressure is hard.

And yet … what a beautiful expression of Your love. You sanctify us — You shape us and mold us and refine us in the fire so that we might know You more, so that we will become holy as You are holy.
