# Wait for His Power.

September 29th, 2026

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.

Reading: **Acts 1**

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

**Jesus gave His disciples a seemingly impossible assignment, but He didn’t ask them to accomplish it in their own strength. He told them to wait for the promise of the Father and the coming power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes our greatest act of faith is not doing more but learning to wait for God to empower what He has called us to do. We don’t have to manufacture the power to follow Jesus because He provides what we need.** **Where might you be trying to accomplish something in your own strength that God is inviting you to surrender to the Holy Spirit?**

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Holy Spirit, I need Your power. Teach me to wait for You instead of rushing ahead in my own strength. Fill me and empower me to live out what Jesus has called me to do.**
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Faith Step:** Before beginning the next thing you have to do, stop and ask the Holy Spirit to empower you rather than relying only on your own strength.
