More on Bible Verses About Strength

When our own strength runs out, the Bible points to a strength that is borrowed and renewed. “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength,” says Isaiah 40:29, and those who wait on the Lord “shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). The promise is not that we won’t grow tired, but that we won’t be left there.

Strikingly, Scripture often locates this strength in weakness. “My strength is made perfect in weakness,” God tells Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9), and Paul answers, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13). The strength is God’s, supplied to us — “God is… a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

These verses are for tired days, gathered as a reminder that real endurance is given freely to those who ask.
