    I really love this song because it puts that scripture "I can do all things who strengthens me" in context. This wasn't a time where Paul was about to charge into a battle, he was in jail, battered and broken and bruised. He was saying AFTER the trials, in the midst of the pain and hurt and hopelessness, I can do all things in him! In the worst of situations, in the face of hopelessness, God can still bring us hope. He can help you endure and remain faithful no matter what you're going through!

    This song speaks to my heart, spirit, deep down in my soul, in '90 my mom was in a MVA & had a traumatic brain injury (tbi) it changed her personality, then in '95 I had my own accident that left me w/a tbi. within a 10 month span, i lost my career, 2 cousins, an uncle & my father died unexpectedly. Then in 2002 I lost my youngest brother to AIDS, I was blessed to be able to be his primary care giver til the end, but it was painful to watch, last yr at 46 yrs old i had a stroke. but God is good!

We can relate we have 2 sons who have health issues one 15 years old with Autism ,immune disorder, hole in heart now blood clots...We have a 37 year old who has had 5 open heart surgeries.. And to hear you sing write songs abt kids and others just is so heart touching.. Thank you God bless

      Judy Wilkinson praying for your family. I love you and Jesus loves you. Even when it gets hard. I'm only 17 but I know life here on earth is not easy. God showers me with His unfailing love and I pray you feel His love and peace fill your heart. Much love from a sister in Christ

    This has been a really amazing song that I frequently listen to. Thanks to Haleigh and her mom for sharing their story. I had the awesome privilege of being in the audience a few weeks ago at Beach Blast Fest 2013 and heard Matthew West sing this. It was a very moving moment. :)

    Hey Matthew Im a huge fan of your songs, and the radio station I listen to has often played this song of yours (strong enough) and I have been struggling with a illness and this reminds me that I cant go through it by myself but with God's help I can. Thankyou for writing such an inspiring song.

    Back when it had just come out, my youth group was showing one of these on the song "forgiveness" before we properly started, and I've just remembered it existed.

    I went in for a simple 15minute surgery on May 13 2009. thinking everything would be alright I had no worries. I came out with several contagious deadly diseases. I have had about 50 surgeries the last past year, I was in the hospital for my 16bday in the past July. I am at a point now where I would just like to take my life... everytime I hear this song it makes me cry.

    This song reminds me of the book of Job; In that book, we are told of how Satan is told to put his worst on Job but not to take his life. If you look at the story it is our story, God putting His money on us! He knows we will come out victorious in the end! Faith in Him!

    @71shawnathan71 Story of Your Life is already on the radio. Or it has been for a while where I live. And I'd love Broken Girl to be on the air too, but I'm not so sure they'd put it on.

  • @71shawnathan71
    @71shawnathan71 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Strong Enough? I mean I love every song on this cd but I thought for sure the next one on the radio would be Broken Girl or Story of Your Life

    @roo718roo I have never heard of a story like the one you told here. Your comment was about a month ago, and I hope you are doing ok. I'm not sure exactly what to say but I know that please, don't give up. Pray and Sing for healing and life from God. I REALLY hope you're doing better than when you posted your comment... Everybody reading your comment (well they should) is praying for you and thinking of you, so just remember that, your friends, family, and God who can pull you through.

    all because the doctor used a dirty tool. I was going back and fourth to a hospital that was an hour away. I lost some of my heel bone and almost my foot. I have blood infections and bone infections. it's just not right!
