There are times when we feel hopeless and small, particularly during times of failure and when faced with challenges we deem too big for us to face. These moments often cause us to feel helpless and powerless to address the specific situations at hand.
When these times come, we need not feel helpless and powerless. The truth is, no matter what we are facing and no matter how we feel about the circumstances surrounding us, we are still more than conquerors in Christ (see Romans 8:37).
And because we are more than conquerors in Christ, we can face any trial or challenge hurled our way:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
