Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

What an amazingly simple Scripture.  I cannot tell you how many times I said this to myself over and over and over and over on the days that I was not sure I could make it through.  I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength…I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength…I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength…

I’d say when I got angry.  I’d say it when I was crying for the 1,734th time in a week.  I’d say it when I felt helpless and inferior as a mother.  I’d say it when I was dog-tired from sleepless nights.  

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength…

It is such an simple Scripture to memorize, to keep right there at the tip of your tongue, to say it when you feel weak and remind yourself of where your strength comes from.  You CAN do this.  You ARE going to get through this and be well again.  And it is NOT your fault.

You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.  Amen.
