I Can Do All Things Through Christ
Full Text
I am not facing this in my own strength. I never was. The strength I need for today does not come from my own reserves — it comes from the One who lives in me and who has promised never to leave me or forsake me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Not some things. Not the easy things. All things — including the things that feel impossible right now. I am not strong enough on my own, and I do not need to be. His strength is made perfect in my weakness. When I am at the end of myself, I am at the beginning of His power. I choose today to stop relying on what I can muster and start drawing from what He has already provided. I am strong — not because I feel strong, but because the God of all strength lives in me. I will not quit. I will not give up. I will not be overcome. I press on, not in my own power, but in His.
