He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus!

Philippians 1:3-11
 "...3I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,
in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

For I am confident of this very thing, 
that He who began a good work in you will perfect it 
until the day of Christ Jesus.

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, 
because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment 
and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, 
you all are partakers of grace with me.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the 
affection of Christ Jesus.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more 
in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may 
approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere 
and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with 
the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, 
to the glory and praise of God.

Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances 
have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,
so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become 
well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to 
everyone else, and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord 
because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak 
the word of God without fear...

...18Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that this will turn out for 
my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit 
of Jesus Christ,  according to my earnest expectation and hope, 
that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, 
Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life 
or by death.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; 
and I do not know which to choose.

But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart 
and be with Christ, for that is very much better; yet to remain on in the 
flesh is more necessary for your sake.

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all 
for your progress and joy in the faith, so that your proud confidence in me 
may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, 
so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you 
that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together 
for the faith of the gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents—which 
is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, 
from God.

For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, 
but also to suffer for His sake, experiencing the same conflict which you
saw in me, and now hear to be in me."

You are not a "lost cause"! 

People are praying for you!

Don't despair!

Cry out to God for He hears you!

"The eyes of the Lord 
are toward the righteous
And His ears are open 
to their cry."

Be Humble,

Repent,

Relax,
