Who Strengthens Me

Phil. 4

Lord, you are at hand. I reckon myself dead to fleshly desires that tempt me to sin. I pray that you, Holy Spirit, fill me and take charge of my thoughts and desires; that I obey your word and your will for me.  I know you were faithful and able to do these things, so, I am anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, I make my requests known to you. I thank you for seeing me through and for keeping me.  I rejoice and again I say, I rejoice. The peace of God keeps my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. What I have learned and seen and received from the word of my Lord Jesus and your apostles, father, I practice, and you are with me.

Whatever is true and honorable and just and commendable; whatever is excellent and worthy of praise; these are the things I think about. I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I have.  Because I have learned that, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and who leads me.  You, my father, supply my every need according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
