Strength For The Struggling Soul โ€“ By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

๐ŸŒบ Beloved, the Bible teaches that true strength for the struggling soul comes from God, who is a refuge, a fortress, and a source of renewal through faith in Him, not from our own abilities.

๐Ÿ“’Isaiah 41:10-11 AMP assures us that God strengthens and upholds the ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ž๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ. He promisesโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œโ€˜Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพI will strengthen you,

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพbe assured I will help you;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพI will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].โ€™

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพโ€œIndeed, all those who are angry with you will be put to shame and humiliated;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพThose who strive against you will be as nothing and will perish.โ€

๐ŸŒบIn addition , Philippians 4:13 states believers can do all things through Christ’s empowering strength.

๐Ÿ“’Philippians 4:13 AMP encourages us to sayโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œI can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purposeโ€”

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพI am self-sufficient in Christโ€™s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]โ€

๐ŸŒบGod is our ONLY source of strength whenever we are struggling. Therefore, we must be laser focused on Him.

(Isaiah 41:10a)

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe must embrace His power in our lives.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe trust His promises, that He will strengthen us.

๐†๐Ž๐ƒ ๐–๐ˆ๐‹๐‹ ๐‡๐„๐‹๐ ๐˜๐Ž๐”

๐ŸŒบ (Isaiah 41:10b) encourage us to be sure the He will help us.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe must bring Him our burdens in prayer and cry out to Him.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe must call on His name as we bring our petitions to His throne of grace.

๐Ÿ“’Also Psalms 46:1 AMP encourages us thatโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œGod is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble.โ€

๐†๐Ž๐ƒ ๐–๐ˆ๐‹๐‹ ๐”๐๐‡๐Ž๐‹๐ƒ ๐˜๐Ž๐”

๐ŸŒบ(Isaiah 41:10c) emphasizes His promise to take hold of us with His righteous right hand. Therefore,

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe must rest in His grip

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพWe must walk by faith in His care, not by sight.

๐Ÿ“’Acts 18:9-10 AMP also provides assurance that God is with us and will not leave us when we are struggling.

โญ•๏ธโ€œOne night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, โ€œDo not be afraid anymore, but go on speaking and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you in order to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.โ€โ€

๐ŸŒบGod loves us so much that He will help us and fight for us, when we trust Him enough to hold on to Him and His promises.
