Have you learned the secret to being content in every circumstance?

Rely on God’s strength.

He demonstrated how expansive and unconditional His love is for you (John 3:16). He promised He would never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Practically, you have to recite these scriptures continuously. Even when the situation overwhelms you and you find yourself crying out – confess the truth of those scriptures. Even when all your flesh wants to do is meditate on all of the negative thoughts, force yourself to audibly speak the scriptures.

And there will come the moment of clarity where you find yourself finally believing the Truth. That you can, in fact, do all things through Him Who continuously strengthens you. And then, when fear, doubt, and frustration attempt to take over again, you say to yourself, I’ve got this.

Philippians 4:11-13 “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
