Life is filled with various challenges. One way to cope is to learn from those who have gone through their struggles and adopt their approach. Paul, who endured much suffering and many trials, reveals a mindset that keeps him buoyant. Whatever he faced, He said that the “Lord stood by me and gave me strength” (2 Tim. 4:17).
Every believer should embrace this mentality of Paul. Having a conscious awareness of the Lord’s presence and claiming His power in our lives, empowers us to courageously face the daily struggles of life. It also helps us to develop the confidence we need to step out into the world as true disciples of the Lord (Lk. 10:1-9).
Loving Lord, Your strength, power and love fortify us to face and overcome the vicissitudes of life. With the confidence we gain from Your abiding presence, may we continue to place our hands in Yours, and diligently work to make our world a better place. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
