Scripture:
(Please select the verse that speaks to you) I can do everything through Him who give me strength (vs 13),
Observation
The inner strength we need in life comes from the Lord.
Application:
The previous verse (vs 12) states trials and troubles of life can exhaust a person’s strength. Often in tough times it seems easier to rely on self. This is dangerous as it can be self-defeating and self-exhausting. I must remember to rely on the Lord.
Prayer:
Lord thank you for being my rock and my fortress. Teach me to remember you are my source of strength at all times.
Yield:
I must yield over reliance in self.

Scripture: I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Observation: Being thankful and content in the everything
Application: I woke up needing this passage this morning after a hard day at work yesterday. But the question still sticks out that how can anyone be content in these days when the environment around you is never content.
Prayer: Lord. Thank you. All that I have and All that I am is because of you. I know that I can do anything through you. Please keep my heart calm and content regardless of what is going on around me.
YES: I will be thankful for everything that happens, because in the long run, it's all a part of God's plan.
