The promise of Philippians 4:13 isn't that Christ will always make you strong enough to change your circumstances. It's that Christ will always be strong enough to hold you through them.
The only hope for idol-addicted sinners who are utterly incapable of decluttering their souls is Jesus, the one at the heart of the gospel, and the only one who stands before the Father with an undivided heart.
More than a friend, Amsdorf was also an important figure in the work of religious reform, providing counsel to Luther on key occasions, shepherding the churches, and defending the faith until his death.
Like David, your sins have been burned up on the altar of the cross. That forgiveness wasn’t earned by your strength. You didn’t need to try to trick God into taking away your sins. You stand forgiven because the hand of the Lord fell on Jesus. It isn’t his death and burial alone that ends this epic. His tomb remains empty. He lives as the author of your eternal life. By faith in him you are counted among his children forever.
