How to Find Strength and Courage in God: 15 Promises to Cling to
In times of distress and uncertainty, it can be challenging to find the strength and courage to keep going. However, as Christians, we have a mighty source of power and encouragement in God. He promises to be there for us, to guide us, and to give us the strength we need to face any situation. In this article, we will explore 15 promises from the Bible that we can cling to in order to find strength and courage in God.
- "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
This powerful verse reminds us that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. He promises to strengthen and uphold us, giving us the courage to face whatever comes our way.
- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." - Psalm 28:7
When we put our trust in God, he becomes our strength and shield. He will provide the help we need, and we can find joy in praising him, even in challenging times.
- "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." - Psalm 73:26
No matter how weak we may feel, we can find strength in the Lord. He is the source of our endurance, and with him, we have an eternal inheritance.
- "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
With God's strength, we can accomplish anything. This verse reminds us that we are not alone in our trials, but rather have the power of Christ within us.
- "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9
Just as God commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, he commands us too. We can find strength in knowing that God is always with us, no matter where we find ourselves.
- "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." - 2 Timothy 1:7
God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-control. When we tap into this spirit, we can find the courage and strength we need to face any situation.
- "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
When we wait upon the Lord, he renews our strength. Just like eagles soaring in the sky, we can rise above our challenges and run our race without growing weary.
- "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." - Psalm 34:4
When we seek God, he answers us and delivers us from our fears. Through prayer and seeking his presence, we can find the courage to overcome our anxieties.
- "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" - Psalm 27:1
With God as our light and salvation, we have no reason to fear. He is our stronghold, and we can find refuge and courage in his presence.
- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
When we trust in the Lord and acknowledge him in all our ways, he promises to guide and direct our paths. We can find strength and courage in knowing that he is leading us every step of the way.
- "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
Jesus reminds us that in this world, we will face trials and tribulations. However, we can find peace and courage in him because he has already overcome the world.
- "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love." - 1 John 4:18
God's perfect love casts out all fear. When we fully embrace his love, we can find the courage to face any situation, knowing that we are deeply loved and cared for.
- "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." - Psalm 9:9
When we feel oppressed or overwhelmed, we can find refuge in the Lord. He is our stronghold, providing us with the strength and courage we need to overcome.
- "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
God promises to never leave us or forsake us. We can find strength and courage in knowing that he is always by our side, guiding and protecting us.
- "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
When we wait upon the Lord, he renews our strength. Just like eagles soaring in the sky, we can rise above our challenges and run our race without growing weary.
In conclusion, finding strength and courage in God is not always easy, but we can cling to these 15 promises from the Bible. By trusting in God's presence, love, and guidance, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way. Let us encourage one another to love God, believe in Him, and trust in His promises. May you find strength and courage in God, and may His blessings be upon you always. 🙏❤️✝️
