He gives us strength

“I can do all things through Him who gives me strength” {Philippians 4:13}

Christ is within you, and you can do anything!

For a while now I have heard this verse and it hasn’t really made me feel anything or really think about what it meant. Jesus calls us to be good leaders, and spread his word. Now when I think of this I don’t think of just doing anything. I think that Christ is within me and he won’t necessarily take away my nerves, or fears; and I still might be scared or afraid, but I have Christ and with Christ I can do anything. God didn’t make us to always be strong and always think “I got this” he created us with the urge of being scared, or afraid and it’s okay. Your not alone. But, he did create us to step out of our comfort zone and do things and let him lead us through. He always has a plan and a purpose for your life and even if sometimes it doesn’t feel like he does, his plan is ultimately the best way! There are struggles that you will face through your life, and there will be things that come your way that you think you can’t face, but in the end.. God is always there and he will give you strength. For instance I struggled quite a bit this year. I would sit by myself and just cry and think “why would God do this to me, I can’t do this” but now that i’ve grown in my faith and realized that he gives us strength and that whatever we go through he has a plan and purpose and his plan is wonderful! : It’s our choice whether we let God take control or we do it ourselves!
