“The Holy Spirit Gives Me Strength to Stand”
📖 “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”
—Acts 1:8a (NKJV)
Life as a teenager can feel like a constant battle—pressure from friends, expectations from adults, temptations, doubts, and the struggle to figure out who you are becoming. In the middle of all that, Jesus gives you Someone powerful: the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit doesn’t give you just any kind of power—He gives you the strength to stand firm when everything around you tries to pull you down.
He strengthens you to choose what’s right when it’s easier to fit in.
He strengthens you to say no to things that would hurt your relationship with Jesus.
He strengthens you to keep going when life feels heavy.
He strengthens you to share your faith, even when you feel unprepared.
This power isn’t loud or showy.
It’s steady—strong enough to keep you anchored in truth.
And it’s not your own strength; it’s God working in you.
When you feel weak, pressured, or unsure, you can ask the Holy Spirit for help. He knows exactly what you need, and He gives strength that is deeper and stronger than anything this world offers.
Talk About It:
- Where do you most need the Holy Spirit’s strength right now?
- Can you remember a time when God helped you stand firm even when it was difficult?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, fill me with Your strength.
Help me stand firm in truth, resist temptation, and live in a way that honors Jesus.
Thank You for being my power when I feel weak.
Amen.
