Bible Verses About Strength

What does the Bible say about strength?

Are you using your own strength? Don’t waste your weakness! Use your trial and your struggles to rely more upon the strength of God. God provides both physical and spiritual strength in our time of need. God has given some believers the strength to remain in captivity for years. Once I heard a testimony of how God has given a small kidnapped woman the strength to break the chains that were holding her so she can escape.

30 Inspirational Bible Verses About Strength In Hard Times

If God can break physical chains how much more can He break the chains that are in your life? Wasn’t it the strength of God that saved you on the cross of Jesus Christ?

Wasn’t it the strength of God that helped you before? Why do you doubt? Have faith! Food, TV, and the internet won’t give you strength in your time of need. It will only give you a temporary way to cope with the pain in the hard times.

You need the everlasting unlimited strength of God. Sometimes you have to go to the prayer closet and say God I need you! You have to come to the Lord in humility and pray for His strength. Our loving Father wants us to fully depend on Him and not ourselves.

“Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” Andrew Murray

“We all know people, even unbelievers, who seem to be natural servants. They are always serving others one way or another. But God does not get the glory; they do. It is their reputation that is enhanced. But when we, natural servants or not, serve in dependence upon the grace of God with the strength He supplies, God is glorified.” Jerry Bridges

“Before He furnishes the abundant supply, we must first be made conscious of our emptiness. Before he gives strength, we must be made to feel our weakness. Slow, painfully slow, are we to learn this lesson; and slower still to own our nothingness and take the place of helplessness before the Mighty One.” A.W. Pink

“I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.” Phillips Brooks

“Every weakness you have is an opportunity for god to show his strength in your life.”

“We say, then, to anyone who is under trial, give Him time to steep the soul in His eternal truth. Go into the open air, look up into the depths of the sky, or out upon the wideness of the sea, or on the strength of the hills that is His also; or, if bound in the body, go forth in the spirit; spirit is not bound. Give Him time and, as surely as dawn follows night, there will break upon the heart a sense of certainty that cannot be shaken.” – Amy Carmichael

Striving in your own strength

You can do nothing in your own strength. You couldn’t even save yourself even if you wanted to. Scripture makes it clear that by ourselves we are nothing. We need to rely on a source of strength. We are weak, we are broken, we are helpless, and we are hopeless. We need a Savior. We need Jesus! Salvation is the work of God and not man.

Ephesians 2:6-9 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.

We have to rely upon the Lord daily. God gives us strength to overcome temptation and stand against Satan’s tricks.

15. 1 Corinthians 10:13  No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

16. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

17. Ephesians 6:11-13 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

God’s strength never fails

At times our own strength will fail us. At times our body will fail us, but the strength of the Lord never fails.

18. Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

19. Isaiah 40:28-31 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 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.
