What can you do?

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Philipans 4:13 KJV

Where do you get your strength from?

I think of myself as a pretty strong person, both physically and mentally. However, my strength has nothing to do with me. I have lived through some scary times in my life, but my strength was not what got me through. As a child, I couldn’t tell you how my mother, brother and myself survived some of the things we did, but as an adult, I can tell you that it had nothing to do with our strength and everything to do with God’s strength. I believe that God walked with us through those events, protecting us each step of the way.

Many of the situations we all face in life are able to knock us off our feet when we take our eyes off of God. But when we remain focused on Him and allow Him to provide the strength we need in our times of weakness, then we are able to walk through tough and even scary situations.

As a child of God, I know that God is with me all the time. When I began being privileged enough to give the message during church, I was so nervous that I was certain I was either going to be sick or start crying. I made it through but not by my strength, it was God who brought me through. It has been 7 years now that I have been honored to be able to give the message at church at different times throughout the years and that anxiety has gone away. I believe that if I had not given those moments and so many other moments like that to God, that I would not be writing this blog right now. God can do amazing things through us if we are willing to be His vessel and lean on Him.

My prayer for each one who reads this is that each day you rely on God to bring you through the situations in your life knowing that He only wants the best for His children and He is always walking beside you.

Have a wonderful day.
