Empowered to Bless


Whatever task these hands may find to do,
Let it be You, O Lord, who leads them through.
Not by my strength, nor driven by my pride,
But by Your Spirit walking at my side.
For life in You is not a quiet flame—
It spreads and brightens every place we name.
Our homes grow warm with joy the world can’t steal,
Our families touched by love that serves and heals.
At work, our words bring peace where tempers flare,
We shine with grace, though few may know or care.
The neighbor sees, the stranger feels the light—
The enemy is softened by Your might.
This is abundance: not in wealth or fame,
But living out the power of Your name.
Each moment drenched in purpose from above,
Each breath a seed of truth and rooted love.
So, Spirit, move—empower, shape, and send,
Make daily life the place where blessings bend.
Let all we do be guided by Your hand,
That through our lives, the world may understand.

Uplifting! A heartfelt prayer woven with such grace and depth. It resonates as a call to live each day with purpose, love, and humility, seeking guidance and strength through faith. The imagery of “life in You is not a quiet flame—It spreads and brightens every place we name” beautifully captures the transformative power of living in alignment with a higher purpose.

The flow of lines builds an atmosphere of peace and hope, shining light on the small, everyday acts—at home, at work, in the world—that ripple outward to bless and heal. The choice to emphasize abundance not in “wealth or fame,” but in living through the “power of Your name,” brings such a grounded and resonant message, one that feels timeless and deeply sincere.

The closing lines—”Make daily life the place where blessings bend”—offer such a vivid and empowering image of life as a vessel for divine work. This is a truly inspiring piece.
