I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
What an empowering message and promise. With God's power surrounding us, there is nothing we can not do. When His favor is on our life and we are living in His perfect will for our lives, we are strengthened by His love. In any difficult situation that we face, His strength can get us through. I remember thinking the most dreaded day of my life was going to be the death of my Mom and her funeral. I could never picture it, imagine it and I used to think I would just skip it. But when that day became my reality, I drew my strength from Him and He gave me the courage to face it. He gave me such peace and acceptance that I was actually able to enter her room and choose her last outfit. I was able to plan her funeral and write her a special prayer. It was probably one of the hardest days of my entire life and the sadness is still too great but by the grace of God I was able to do what I did. Whatever mountain you are facing, draw close to Him and He will draw close to you (James 4:8) and you will have the strength to do anything in Him.
