Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak

I can do all this through him who gives me strength

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
