I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

- Philippians 4:13

When you feel overwhelmed or when you feel weak, where do you find your strength? Is your first instinct to rely on your own abilities to face a difficult situation or a new challenge? At what point do you start to ask for help? What may seem impossible, is possible with the help of God. God has made us strong, resilient beings. Yet, relying on our own strength has limits and there may be times when you feel vulnerable and small against situations that are challenging and difficult. Know that our Father in heaven is here to support you and give you the strength and will to conquer. Let God be the source of your confidence and your power to overcome, to endure, and to rise above. When you place your faith in God, He is in your corner and He will strengthen you.

Reflection: Proceed this week with the faith and confidence that God has strengthened you. If there is a stressful situation or obstacle that comes your way, take the time for a moment for prayer to ask God to help you. Then trust in God and allow Him to be there for you as you address the situation with assurance of the Spirit working through you. Honour Him with your actions and with the work you do, and observe how easy it becomes to meet the challenges.
