\nOne of my favorite verses is Isaiah 40:29 which says: He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.<\/em>
\nAnd there are also many verses in the book of Psalms about strength.
\nSo, no matter what our need is, we can pray to the Lord to receive His strength when we have none of our own.<\/p>\n
\nDear Lord, I need Strength today because_______________________________________.(tell the Lord why you need strength today)<\/p>\n
\nI need Your power today, Lord. I need Your might and Your strength.
\nYou are my very present help, Lord. I am calling upon You now, to strengthen me and give me Your peace, for then I will tell everyone:
\n“My body and my heart may grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart and all I need forever.”<\/em> because, “It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.”<\/em>
\n(Psalm 43:26 NLV and Psalm 18:32 NIV) Thank\u00a0You Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n
