Fannie Lou Hamer's Tired Strength - Progressive (Philippians 4:13)

Fannie Lou Hamer was beaten, shot at, and impoverished for registering Black voters in Mississippi. When asked why she kept going, she said, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired"—and kept working anyway. Her strength wasn't physical; it came from somewhere beyond herself. Philippians 4:13 in context is about contentment in hardship, strength for endurance. Hamer endured. Christ strengthened her not for comfortable success but for costly justice. The "all things" includes all the struggle righteousness requires.
