Identify one area where you're striving to 'win' through your own power. Write it down. Then pray one sentence: 'God, I trust you for the victory here, not myself.'

Prayer

Jesus told His disciples, 'In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world' (John 16:33) — and He invites you to pray with confidence in His victory.

Father, I confess I often chase winning on my own terms and in my own strength. I want the trophy, the applause, the proof that I'm ahead. But You show me that true victory is freedom from sin, alignment with Your will, and trust in Your power at work in my life. Help me compete with integrity, work with diligence, and surrender the outcome to You. I want to win the way that matters — by faith in Jesus. In Jesus' name, Amen.
