Passage:
Focus: Dwell on the guarantee that God will quicken your mortal body by His indwelling Spirit.
Ask yourself: Where are you most conscious of your own weakness or tiredness at present? Does it change anything to know the Spirit who raised Christ is not visiting that place, but living there?
Almighty God our Father, if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in me, You shall also quicken my mortal body by that Spirit. Impart that resurrection vitality to me today. I ask it in the name of the Lord Jesus, the Firstborn from the dead. Amen.
