Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"I can do everything with the help of Christ
who gives me the strength I need."
Philippians 4:13 NLT

Man is never so tall as when he kneels
before God — never so great as when he
humbles himself before God. And the man
who kneels to God can stand up to anything.
Louis H. Evans1

Reflection:

When I woke up the other morning, one of the
first things I did was turn to the news on TV.
I was greeted by the news that unemployment
is now in the double digits 10.2 %. People are
out of work, over 44 million have no health care.
A homeless person has now been joined by
homeless families. Many, in this country, have
found themselves in the position of having almost
nothing especially concerning financial resources.
The Apostle Paul often found himself in this same
position of having "almost nothing" (Philippians 4:12).
But notice that even in his bleakest moments,
when his stomach was literally empty and growling,
Paul's spirit was full (v. 11). Paul experienced genuine
contentment in difficult times. How did he do this?
Paul relied on the strength of Christ to get him through.
God's strength is a kind of divine energy that can
sustain you through economic difficulties or troubles
of any kind.
PLEASE YOU MUST REMEMBER THROUGH THE
POWER OF THIS DIVINE ENERGY, THE HOLY SPIRIT,
GOD IS THERE FOR YOU!! RELY ON THE STRENGTH
OF CHRIST TO GET YOU THROUGH

Prayer:

Oh Lord with Your divine assistance I know I can press on.
With your help and strength, I can do whatever you ask
of me. Give me a second wind. I look to you in trust
because I know you are faithful. In Jesus name Amen
