Bible Verses About Strength (Before Something Hard)
Strength in the Bible is not muscle. It is a steadiness that God supplies to people who have run out of their own. These verses are for the day you know you are about to.
The verses
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
