Prayers for Strength
Lord, my Strength and my Refuge,
In this moment, I come before You, recognizing my need for Your divine strength. The challenges I face seem overwhelming, and I confess that in my own power, I am inadequate.
I am reminded of Your words in Isaiah, where You promise to give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak. I claim that promise now, Lord. I ask that You infuse my spirit with Your strength, enabling me to withstand the trials that loom large.
Help me to shed every burden that weighs me down, to untangle myself from the snares of sin and doubt. As I navigate this difficult season, remind me of the great cloud of witnesses cheering me on, inspiring me to persevere.
Teach me, Lord, to rely not on my understanding but to trust in You wholeheartedly. In my weakness, may Your strength be made perfect. I surrender my fears, my anxieties, and my limitations to You.
Guide my steps, Lord. Help me to run this race with endurance, with unwavering faith in Your promises. Even when the path gets steep, may I keep pressing forward, confident in Your strength that carries me.
Thank You for Your faithfulness, Lord. Thank You that You never leave me nor forsake me. Even in the valley, even in the storm, You are with me. Your strength is my comfort and my peace.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
