Quotes about Strength

Many people turn away from Me when they are exhausted. They associate Me with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from My Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens Me! As I spoke through My prophet Isaiah: In returning to Me and resting in Me you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.

However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with Me.

You gain confidence through knowing that I am with you—that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: "If such and such happens, can I handle it?"

It is this you-and-I-together factor that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.

GROW STRONG IN YOUR WEAKNESS.

Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace I give is sufficient for you.

Lean on Me for support; I am indeed your Rock.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Instead of trying to fight your fears, concentrate on trusting Me.
