You Can Handle Whatever Life Hands You

Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. - Romans 8:37

For years, I have pondered what being "more than a conqueror" means. I'm sure other people have other perspectives, but I have come to the conclusion that being more than a conqueror means having such confidence that no matter what comes up in your life, you know that through Christ you can handle it. You know before you are ever faced with a problem that you're going to have victory over it.

So therefore, you don't dread things, you don't fear the unknown, you don't live in anxiety about what's going to happen in uncertain situations. It doesn't really matter what the specifics of the situation are; you know you can handle it through Christ. For you, defeat isn't an option!

Begin to think every day, I can handle whatever life hands me. I can do whatever I need to do in life. I am more than a conqueror. I am equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me. Even before you get out of bed in the mornings, let these thoughts roll over and over in your mind, and your confidence will skyrocket and you will find that indeed, you can do whatever you need to do in life.

Right thinking is the first step toward a better life. Wishing won't work. Being jealous of someone who has what you desire does no good. Self-pity is a waste of time and energy. Discovering God's will through an accurate knowledge of His Word and beginning to think as He thinks is the beginning of a new life for anyone who desires one.

Trust in Him: In what specific situation do you need to believe you are more than a conqueror? Trust that through Christ, you are equal to anything.
