My Strength Is In You, Jesus!

I love this verse from Philippians 4:13 in most versions of the Bible, but I especially love it from the amplified Bible:
"I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]."
 I am so glad I don't have to try and summon up strength to do things I can really only do with Your help Lord. The verse says that Christ infuses me with His strength! Once every year I get an infusion of a medicine that will help make my dangerously thin and  porous bones stronger and more dense, but the great thing about the infusion is that I go into a medical (infusion) center, they insert an IV and then I simply "rest" while the medicine that will help my bones (later) is infused into me! All I do is show up at the infusion center, let the experts do their job and then "rest", I don't have to try and make the medicine work, it will do its job, just as God's infusion of strength will make me strong just when I know I can't go on under my own power!
I am never left alone to try and figure out what to do or how to do something; because, You are interested in every part of my life- in fact, You want to be Lord of every area and aspect of my life.
 You desiring to be a part of all of my life is not because You are a control freak, but rather because You know me better than I know myself and You already have a perfect plan for me and every part of my life!
