10 Powerful Bible Verses For Strength and Prayers

Last Updated on August 27, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with powerful Bible verses to help you stay strong. The world is filled with troubles. It is filled with tribulations and sufferings. But we take solace in the scripture that These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. God has overcome the world. We are expected to bask in the victory of our maker.

Nevertheless, while we wait upon the Lord to fulfill the promise of His Word, we need strength to keep our eyes glued to the cross and stay focus while waiting on the lord. Waiting on the lord is easier said than done. So many believers have been swayed away by the devil while they waited on the lord. It is because they lack the strength to remain focus and trust God regardless of the situation at hand. The way of God is different from that of man. The scripture makes us understand that as heaven is far away from the earth, so are His thoughts away from ours.

When we gave tribulations, it is expected that we pray for a solution. However, not all the time we pray for solutions that we get them. There are times that God tarry in answering our prayers to teach us patience and grant us the ability to be more assertive in Him. We get more strength as believers the more we trust and believe in God. Not all closed-door mean No from God, and not all open doors mean Yes from Him. It takes the spirit of God to discern.

When the storm of life comes raging at us ferociously, we need strength to keep standing. When we are going through the fire of life, we need strength to keep our faith. When we are sick, we need strength, so we don’t grow weary. As believers, the best way to pray for and get a speedy response is by using the word of God. The Bible made us understand that God honors His word far beyond His name. Whatever things God has promised in his word, He will fulfill them. That’s why we will need some Bible verses to help us stay strong in moments of trouble.

If you need strength, why not pray for it using the scriptural text highlighted in this blog. I pray that as you do, God will grant you strength in the name of Jesus.
