No matter what you’re facing, embrace life in trust and contentment based on your faith in Jesus.
What situation do you face today? Has someone you love fallen sick? Are you concerned about your child’s behavior? Do you hold on to a hurt from the past? Just as Christ’s strength is sufficient for all you endure, it is sufficient to get you through each day.
Not one day goes by that I don’t remind myself of the awesomeness of God and His provisions for me and the ones I love. As His child you can look to Him, His Word, His promises, and His strength, and He will graciously — every time and without fail! — provide what you need for taking one more step along your God-ordained path. In fact, tell yourself, “I can do all things” — including this — “through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). How blessed you are to be able to turn to and trust God in every circumstance for every need.
Lift up Paul’s words in Philippians 4:13 as your personal promise. There is no need to just cope when you have the Lord!

Therefore, we quickly conclude, it is a disaster! But God did not forget His people who were suffering in Babylon. And, my friend, He won’t forget you!
Too many times in the past I’ve told others “I’m fine” in order to hide my pain and sorrows from them. The truth is, my thoughts pulled me down so far that, in private, tears regularly streamed down my face. Are you constantly thinking negative thoughts? Being a woman after God’s own heart is all about “minding your mind.”
As a young mother, I endeavored to “train a child in the way he should go,” so that “when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). A decade later, however, I wasn’t reaping the results I had expected. Angrily, I said to God, “But this isn’t the way it was supposed to be! This isn’t the way it went for this family here or that family over there. And this isn’t the way it was supposed to be for my family!”
