I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
“I can’t do this”
was a common statement I made when I first became a supervisor at my work. The pressure
to perform consistently in an ever-changing world made it seem impossible to
maintain a steady flow of productivity. Where did this pressure lead me? To
Christ! I found that if I started my day off praying at work, actually walking
around the building in prayer, I surrendered my plan and strength to Christ and
He has always made a way for me through the daily challenges and struggles of overseeing
my staff and our responsibilities as a team.
But, I have to
admit, there are days when I feel completely overwhelmed and question why God
has allowed a tidal wave of adversity to sweep over me. As a result, I cling
even more strongly to Christ and hunker down in prayer, oftentimes on my knees
at my desk chair, to seek His strength and wisdom for the moment of crises. I
can tell you He comes through each time. The key is for me to continually keep
my focus on Him, so He can orchestrate the challenges at hand.
Maybe you are
feeling zapped physically and spiritually by the challenges of life. Turn your
focus from your problems and look to Jesus Christ for strength and help. The
outcome might not be as you planned, but His plan always is best and will prepare
you for the next wave of adversity. Your
weakness is an open invitation for His strength to accomplish all things
through Christ. God bless!
