God's Word:

Philippians 4:13 
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me {I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me: I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency} 

ACTION:

Write down Philippians 4:13 on post it notes, posters, journals…anything you touch and see daily.  Post it notes can be stuck to bathroom mirrors and car steering wheels.  Posters can be posted on the fridge, on the front door, and on your nightstand.  For each page  you write in your journal or notebook, write across the top the verse. 

PRAY:   Jesus, I need your strength.  Holy Spirit rise up inside of me an energy that cannot be mistaken.  Set my feet on the path built upon a solid foundation in Your Word.  Help me remember that I am able to do all things and face every challenge because I am not alone.  AMEN
