Give me the strength

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

You ultimately become what you believe yourself to be.  If you keep on saying to yourself that you are incapable of doing a certain thing, it’s likely that you will end up becoming incapable of doing it.  On the contrary, if you have the belief that you can do it, despite your struggles and frustrations, you will likely acquire the capacity to do it, even if you can’t do it right now.

Remember the darkest night will eventually end and the sun will rise.  If you take another step, and another, you’ll be surprised to know how far you can go from the point you thought was the end.  So say this to yourself, and mean it with all your heart: “Lord, no matter how hard things get give me the strength to not give up."
Let this be your prayer today:
Lord,

-Give me the strength until I touch heaven.

-Give me the strength to overcome my fears and worries.

-Give me the strength to witness one more time Your glory.

-Give me the strength to hold on by faith and not let go.
