In summary of Philippians 4:13 it says, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”
Bottom Line:
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
What this means to me:
When I truly follow Christ in my life, he gives me the strength to face all conditions and to do all things. At times I feel a gnawing, inner security and lack of confidence or a feeling of incompetence in my life. This is related to the way I think about myself. I begin to believe that I don’t matter, I’m a loser, and I’ll never do anything significant with my life. What I need to realize is that these inner thoughts are all completely opposite to what God thinks. I do matter to him and I am extremely important. I need to keep my focus not on my self but on God and what he thinks. When these thought come, I should repeat the things that God says about me; I am acceptable, I am lovable, I am valuable, I am forgivable, and I am capable. So cast off my wrong thinking and believe what God says. Because God thinks I’m capable, I will be able to face anything that comes my way. I do not need to fear it. He will be with me and will provide the strength I need to accomplish the task or face the situation.
