Some people read Ephesians 6:10 and think that Lord is telling them to be strong in themselves. And they're trying to be strong. They'll say, "Oh, pray for me that till hold out faithfully the end! But God didnt say a word about our being strong in ourselves or in the power of our might. That traffic policeman steps right out in front of those cars and holds up his hand, because he knows they're going to stop that has been given for him. That he doesn't have to exert any strength himself; he's strong in the authority. A particular truth in this verse has been overlooked by most peoples today. Paul wrote that while he was in Asia he had a burden that was beyond [his] strength." Other translation read that Paul said his problem was "far beyond our ability to endures" that is what the Lord is telling us. He's saying of His mighty Power. Be strong! You need to know something and that something is that your loving Father has already given you the check," He has already blessed (you) with spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" the only response is to cash the check! How is that done? Simply by believing that what God has said is true and then acting like you believe Him. Faith moves God! Fear moves the devil. Who you gonna moving? It is a matter of faith believing what He tells us about Himself and about ourselves and then acting accordingly. You have all you need both for time and eternity. Read 2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
It is very important to believe that you aren't missing something in life that you need to develop. Your only need is to realize what you have already been given in Christ and apply those qualities in your life you are able to live out of the resources you already posses in Christ. That alone is the secret to living the life you've been made to live
