<p>Friend, you too may be spiritually and physically weighed down.  Ask yourself this: Is Christ the focus and center of my life?  <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Philippians 4:13</strong> </span>says, &#8220;<strong><em>I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength</em></strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t achieve balance spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically until you&#8217;ve placed yourself completely under God&#8217;s control.<br />
Remember, the Bible also says to give God first place in your life, then all your &#8216;everyday human concerns&#8217; will be met.</p>
