  This New Year is another year to be your authentic self and live your life to the fullest. The challenges of life will come but how should we face them? By turning to God’s word is the best approach as only He can make the impossible possible. Whenever you feel as though you cannot achieve your goals and it seems like the more you try is the more obstacles arise, encourage yourself in these powerful words , “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 Many times we tend to focus on our problems rather than communicate to God as He always has the peace we need and the answers.

Take time to believe in the confidence which God has placed within us to succeed. Whenever we depend on God then His strength will be the medicine to help us bless others
