Lord, Give Me Strength!

Often, we walk through moments in our lives where we simply are weak, without the physical, mental or emotional strength to go on.  Our strength is exhausted.  It seems that everything we do is without effect.

It is in these times that God is our Closest Companion, our Dearest Friend. When we cry out to Him, He renews our strength.

Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) shall renew their strength and power, they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun); they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

When we spend time, in His Presence, our strength is refreshed and restored. He grants us the capacity to go forth and go on to face the challenges of life. In the posture of absolute surrender, He sustains us.

Habakkuk 3:19 says, The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk (not to stand in terror, but to walk) and make (spiritual) progress upon my high places (of trouble, suffering or responsibility).

In Jesus, we live and move and have our being. We are lost without Him. He is our Strength! A very present help in times of trouble. When we are weak, He is Strong!

Strength is defined as the capacity for an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.

We are able to withstand the great force and pressures in life, hidden in Him, in the cleft of the Rock.

In His Presence is fullness of joy, in His right Hand are pleasures forevermore! You going thru pressures right now, no strength to push past the great forces coming at you?? Run to Jesus!! He’s got you!

Psalm 28:7 says, “The Lord is my strength and my (impenetrable) shield; my heart trust in, relies on and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him.”

Psalm 29:11 says, “The Lord will give unyielding and impenetrable strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.”

Dear Heavenly Father, bless my dear friend today, renew her strength as she turns to you. Thank you for being her impenetrable shield enabling her to withstand the forces and pressures of life. Thank you for blessing her with your peace today, in Jesus Name.
