A prayer for strength in difficult times
Lord, I'm tired and this season is hard. I don't have the strength I need, but You do. Hold me up when I feel like falling. Give me courage for today and hope for tomorrow. Remind me that You are with me in this, and that this is not the end of my story. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A prayer for strength and healing
Father, I need strength in my body and healing in my heart. Restore what's been broken, renew my energy and lift my spirit. I trust You with my healing. Amen.
A prayer for comfort and strength
God of all comfort, wrap me in Your peace. When I'm afraid, steady me; when I'm weak, strengthen me; when I feel alone, remind me You are near. Amen.
A prayer when I feel overwhelmed
Lord, it's all too much. Help me take one step, then the next. Lift what I cannot carry. I cast my cares on You because You care for me. Amen.
Scripture to pray with
“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.”
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
“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.”
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
