How to be content in all circumstances? – Stella Ramola
My dear friend, today, we will meditate on Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Yes, my friend, we have often heard this verse and quoted it a lot in our lives, don’t we? But do you know the intention behind Paul saying this? Two verses before this, we read Paul saying, “I know what it feels like to be in need. I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. And through all this, I know that it is Christ who gives me strength, and I can do all things through Him who gives me this strength.” In II Corinthians 11:24-27, we read of how much Apostle Paul suffered for the sake of the gospel. In such a situation, Paul writes, “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.”
My friend, do you feel hopeless in any aspect of your life? Perhaps you feel powerless in your job, as if there’s nothing you can do. Maybe you’ve lost all motivation and success in your business, or you’re struggling financially. It could be that people are speaking out against you, leaving you feeling exhausted, tired, and ashamed. If you are feeling like you can’t go on, I encourage you to put your trust in Jesus. He will fill your heart with joy and make your life complete. His joy will give you the strength to face any situation, no matter how difficult. So, be filled with Jesus today and know that you can overcome any challenge with His help. He will give you the power to turn your circumstances around, whether it’s related to your job, family life, business, studies, reputation, or health. With Jesus by your side, you will find the strength to face any obstacle that comes your way, and He will help you overcome it.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, I am grateful for Your love and for the strength You provide me with every day. Through You, I can do all things. Please fill me with Your divine strength so that I can perform my duties with excellence, find success in my endeavours, and experience perfect health in my body. I also pray that You will fill me with Your joy, which gives me the strength to face any situation. As my Lord and my guide, please be with me throughout my life and bless me today with Your divine strength. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
