Philippians felt like a deep breath for my soul. It is one of those letters that lifted me and checked me all at the same time. Paul was in prison, yet somehow, joy was pouring off the pages. That challenged me. Joy is a choice, not a mood—and he made that clear. He also reminded me that God finishes what He starts. That gave me hope on the days when I feel stuck or unfinished. I loved how he kept pointing back to Jesus’ humility. Paul told us to have the same mindset, to serve even when we are tired, to love even when it costs something. His words on prayer brought me peace. He reminded me to pray about everything, worry about nothing, and trust that God's peace would guard my heart. And of course, the famous reminder: I can do all things through Christ. Not because I am strong, but because He is. This book is my go-to when I need encouragement to keep going.
