I am strong. I am great.
No matter what comes, I won\u2019t break.
I\u2019ve been through storms, I\u2019ve seen the rain,
But I know that sunshine comes after pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are days when I feel weak,
When life knocks me down, and the future feels bleak.
But even then, I know I\u2019ll rise,
Because with every struggle, there\u2019s a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,
He\u2019s my rock, my guide, my security.
When the weight of the world feels too much to bear,
I remind myself that He\u2019s always there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With God, nothing is impossible, it\u2019s true,
He\u2019s taken me through battles I never thought I\u2019d get through.
I\u2019ve faced giants, I\u2019ve walked through fire,
But with Him, I\u2019ve come out even higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won\u2019t let fear control my heart,
I\u2019ll keep pushing forward, doing my part.
Because I know that no matter what comes my way,
I\u2019ll survive, I\u2019ll thrive, I\u2019ll see a brighter day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am strong, not because of my own might,
But because God gives me strength and light.
He lifts me up when I\u2019m feeling down,
He wipes away every tear and frown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I\u2019m tired, when I feel like giving in,
I remind myself, I\u2019m made to win.
God didn\u2019t bring me this far to leave me now,
With Him, I\u2019ll make it through, somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing I can\u2019t handle, nothing too tough,
Because with God, I\u2019m more than enough.
He fills me with courage, fills me with grace,
With Him, I can face anything I have to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So no matter how hard the road may seem,
I\u2019ll keep going, keep chasing the dream.
I won\u2019t let challenges hold me back,
Because with God, I\u2019ll never lack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am strong. I am great.
With every trial, I elevate.
I trust in God\u2019s perfect plan,
With Him, I know I can withstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No mountain too high, no valley too low,
With God, I\u2019ll keep moving, I\u2019ll continue to grow.
Nothing is impossible, not when He\u2019s by my side,
I\u2019ll walk with faith, in Him I\u2019ll confide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am strong, I will survive,
With God, I will always thrive.
So no matter what life throws at me,
I\u2019ll stand tall, because through Christ, I\u2019m free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
