Psalms 62:1-12. Verse 11, who or what falsely claims power in my life, seeking to influence or intimidate me? How can I access God’s true power today and counteract those?

Ephesians 2:1-10. Verse 10, what are some specific good works that God intends me to undertake, through Jesus Christ, at this chapter of my life?
John 14:1-11. Verse 6, what tends to obscure or obstruct my active obedience to Jesus as the only way, only truth, and only life that I was put here to follow?
