Philippians 4:12,13

I know how to be abased, and I know how to be abound.  Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  

There are days when the Lord cannot send help to us fast enough.  When we realize that our strength is not enough and our prayers are the only thing keeping us up from complete defeat, as we start to mature as Christians, we will learn the path is not always straight, but God will lead us and strengthen us as we travel.
