You Got This??

 

I love that women today are feeling more empowered to do hard things. Whether it’s working toward a healthy lifestyle, seizing a career opportunity, facing parenting or relationship challenges, or even literally fighting for their very lives—women are stepping up to do the hard stuff.


I also deeply appreciate how we are supporting and encouraging one another in these battles. There’s beauty in the way we rally together, lifting each other up in the fight.


But I want to offer a loving word of caution to the many women I see standing confidently in their own strength:

  Sister, you DON’T got this.



As much as you might want to believe that you’re tough and can handle it all—you can’t.


Not in your own strength.


Not alone.


Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Apart from Him, we simply don’t have the strength we need to face the battles that inevitably come our way. So, while you’re gearing up to fight and your friends are cheering you on from the sidelines with raucous chants of “YOU GOT THIS!”—remember this: the only way you’ve truly got this is through the undeniable power of the One who is fighting for you.


Colossians 1:11 reminds us that we can be strengthened with all power according to His glorious might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father.” This prayer, offered by Paul for the church at Colossae, is one we too can claim.


When we lean on the strength of Jesus, we can rest assured that the battle is already won. Do your part: pray, believe, and follow Jesus. And trust that He will be faithful to do His part.


So no, I don’t got this. You don’t got this.


But with Jesus?


WE GOT THIS. Praise His name!


Be blessed! 💜
