"So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. That's why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ's mighty power that works within me."
Paul was very clear about his mission. Because of this, he was able to work hard even as he depended on God's mighty power. Here is the formula: you know clearly what God wants you to do. You depend on his power as you pour all your energy into what you set out to do. You believe he gives you the power, and you move ahead in that power, keeping your eyes on the vision (in this case, it was of perfecting his listeners' relationship to Christ). What mission has he given you? Pray for clarity and then proceed in power!
