We all need strength-physical, mental, and emotional. When and why do we need it? We need it all of the time. We need more of it too. We need it –

• as a growing baby that sleeps a lot
• as a youth going to school
• for all of those challenging tasks that require stamina
• when we read or talk about the current crisis or challenges going on around us
• when we think of all of the goals we want to accomplish
• when we want to help others who are in need
• when we want to finish that job that takes a long time
• when we want to start something new
• just to do something fun
