It’s in the Bible, Colossians 1:11-12, TLB. “Being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving …

We learn to deal with challenges along the way: temptation; wrong thoughts and motives; emotions that can defeat us; …
