"I have learnt to be satisfied with what I have. I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learnt this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me."

(Philippians 4.11-13 GNB)

If anyone had ever faced a truly tough situations in life, Paul was definitely one such person.

Paul knew when he was in need, God was there. And when he had more than enough, God was also there.

Thus he had the strength to face all conditions.

God,
I know you are there with me, always
no matter what
please give me strength
