Philippians 4:13 for today: a confirmation student’s reflection on faith, strength, and trusting God through challenges

During Lent, our confirmation students met with mentors to talk about faith and life—growing in identity, belonging, and purpose through caring relationships. Together they also co-wrote reflections on a Bible verse, and we’ll be sharing these devotionals throughout the Easter season as an invitation to embrace thoughtful dialogue and respond to God’s grace with love in the world.

Today's Reflection was written by 6th Grader Lila Brumage and her mentor Kim Finnin (pictured above)



Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through God who strengthens me” is a Bible verse that really inspires me because it reminds me that I’m never alone when I face challenges. To me, it means that even when something feels hard, stressful, or impossible, I can rely on God to give me the strength, courage, and determination to keep going. I like this verse because it motivates me to believe in myself while also trusting that God is helping guide me. It reminds me that with faith, effort, and perseverance, I can get through tough moments and reach my goals. This verse gives me confidence and hope whenever I start to doubt myself. ✨🙏
