Bible Verses about strength must start and end with God. It is the power and strength that comes from God that carries us on. As Christians we need to surrender to the strength that God provides and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. As you read through these scripture quotes about strength be encouraged in that it is not your strength that is needed but the strength that God willingly supplies. Feel free to use this study for a devotional, topical Bible study or Sunday School lesson.

All Strength Comes From God
It is so refreshing to know that we can rest in the strength and comfort that God will provide when facing troubles of many kinds. Let Him have the glory and show himself strong. Listen to this Bible verse: 2Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” God wants to show Himself strong on your behalf. Surrender to Him today and let the peace that He gives you take over. We cannot fully serve God without full surrender to his Strength.
Strength Comes From God Bible Verses
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Examples of Showing Strength in the Bible
The following Bible verses on being strong show us biblical examples of strength and the faith it takes to trust in God so completely that He is your strength. Imagine how much faith it took for Abraham to be willing to sacrifice his long awaited son Isaac.
- David
1 Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

2 Timothy 4:17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
- Peter
1 Peter 4:11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
- Joshua
Joshua 1:9-11 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
- Abraham
Genesis 22:1-3 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.
Bible Verses Showing Strength Comes From Faith Not From Fear
Are you struggling through a situation today and are grasping for answers? How should you respond? Respond with faith and not fear, knowing the promises of God and His mighty hand will hold you through any situation!
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Matthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Mark 10:52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
Matthew 21:21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith anddo not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
Bible Scripture Quotes About Strength as Related to Courage

Strength Bible Verses- Because of the Hope and Love we have In Jesus Christ
Do not lose heart or become discouraged as we have the Hope of Jesus Christ and eternal life to carry us through. Stay in the Bible and pray continually seeking the face of God and He will be with you. I pray these Bible verses fill your heart with hope from the truth of God’s mighty word.
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Timothy 1:7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face.
Romans 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Christian Quote About Strength
“Those who serve God must serve Him in His own way, and in His strength, or He will never accept their service. That which man doth, unaided by divine strength, God can never own. The mere fruits of the earth He casteth away; He will only reap that corn, the seed of which was sown from heaven, watered by grace, and ripened by the sun of divine love. God will empty out all that thou hast before He will put His own into thee; He will first clean out thy granaries before He will fill them with the finest of the wheat. The river of God is full of water; but not one drop of it flows from earthly springs. God will have no strength used in His battles but the strength which He Himself imparts. Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give thee victory. Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.” – Charles Spurgeon
D.L. Moody once said that “If you partner with God, Make your plans big!” I encourage you today to make God your partner. Whatever your burden is that caused you to search for strength, give it up to him now. Do not let another minute go by without completely surrendering your burdens to Him. God wants to be your strength. Surrender to Him in your weakness and let Him show Himself strong.

This past month I felt that Satan has keep knocking at my front door with temptation I almost opened it for him but after reading these verses. I feel that I have strength in the LORD my GOD. 10 fold and I thank GOD for encouraging words!
Thank you for this is was very helpful.
This helped me in some ways. I’m 17 years old & I recently told my ex boyfriend that I don’t want us to talk anymore. I had to do it for me because if I continued to talk to him as a friend he would’ve went back to the same arrogant person he was when we were together. I sent him a text message saying I don’t want us to talk anymore & other things. I told him not to respond to it but he did anyway :/ I wanted to respond back and tell him that he needs to seek God & pray asking him to change his heart but my mom said that’s enough, he might say something mean if you say that because of how he is. Me and him are unequally yoked, he wants to be in the world and have sex & I want to please God. I miss him a lot because we were friends for 5 years & were together for 6 months, but I guess he isn’t the one for me. I want him to be, but God only knows…
you did the right thing you are strong and you deserve better and im glad your serving god thats freakin amazing i am trying to give my life to god and i have lost alot of good friends and i gained better friends i know god has blessed you and has blessed me i just felt the need to write to this
hope everthing is working out
My situation is a little different. We went out a couple of times , seemed to really hit it off and then it just fell apart. I showed my butt a little and then apologized for it. I have been trying to get over her but I seem to be falling for her even more. She is the most incredible person I have ever had a chance to date and I feel that she has that potential to be a wife and a mother to my children.. Yes I know that it seems to soon but I cannot seem to get rid of or control my feelings. I need help or just some opinions. 2tim 1:7 ” For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power , and of love , and of a sound mind. ” I pray for strength but I am soo weak and the more I get to know her , the more in love I fall. OH Yeah… I work with her…. side by side every day. I’ve never been like this before and I dont know why I can just get over her….. A Broken Man
Hi Jake,
well, I believe it is only thru the scriptures will you be able to understand and know of God’s plan and ur purpose. It is normal to feel that you are falling more in love with this girl. Well, here are just few bible verses which you can meditate on……Psalm 34:18 reads, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 147:3 reads: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” God definitely knows the condition of ur heart (Psalm 139). When situation as such arises, we tend to lose focus of God who shud always be the center of our focus whether in good or bad times.
God always cares for our pains (1 Peter 5:7, John 3:16).
You can use your emotional wounds to grow closer to God, only then will you be able to feel whole again, no longer will you be a broken man, and find peace….
i would like to thank you for sharing the goodness of God. I had some homework for bible study and i find all of the answers that i needed.
I was so blessed that I came across this site! The bible verses have inspired me so much! When you find yourself needing some guidance and direction this is the place to be in God’s word. I felt so uplifted from reading God’s word! Where I was torn down it lifted me up! God is an awesome God! May I saw that I was highly favored today!
Very encouraging verses. Going through a lot right now and I’m really looking to god. I pray god will show me the way!
My mother in law passed away very recently and I have been asked to speak breifly regarding her and what I saw from her.. Well the first thing I thought of is how she always relied on God for her strength. So I started looking for a good website that would help me to use the right verses along with what my heart needed to say. So thank you for these encouraging verses as I start to write about her life.
Cindy
What a great testimony of the life of your mother in law to be know for relying on God for her strength. I think anyone of us would love for that to be said about us someday.
This was incredibly helpful and very motivational! Thank you!
Nice collection of verses. Read a couple of your articles and I just wanted to encourage you to keep writing about God. I’m also doing the same, except right now the only thing you’ll find on my site are stories of how God did miracles to save me.
God bless you, and I pray that He gives you the Words to say.
Thanks so much for you encouragement Justin. I checked out your website and it looks great! Keep up the great work and you can never go wrong sharing personal stories of how God changed everything for you!
Thank you Josh. I am a strong believer in positive word and motivation. It was just as recent as 2 years ago that I came to a realization for myself that all things are done through God. Though I still have struggles at times, I am always pulled back into what is most important and that is my faith. I am in constant search for him and I thank you for this as it fills my heart with more faith that there is a heaven and people are in constant search of it. Things like this makes the word a better place. We are all truly blessed to be able to read this.
Thank you again…
What a great thought on faith T. Jones. It is so important to remind ourselvers over and over again that we need the strength of God to get through struggles. I am the same way in that I need to be reminded. I am thankful for all of the comments on this article as it causes me to come back and read the verses again!
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am going thru an extremely difficult time right now. I try to read from the Bible daily for guidance and to help uplift my broken heart. I truly believe that if we walk with God’s word daily that we can prevent alot of our sins.
Thank you so much for this site.
I just love reading. It helps mE alot in personal life
Wonderful
thanks for the Bible verse! I am learning English, and I want to learng from the Blible!!
happy New year 2012
Thank you so much this wonderful article. It has given me the strength to carry on with my life after suffering a sudden bereavement and starting a difficult new job.
I was surfing the web trying find bible verses about strength because I was feeling so down today, and came across this site. It really uplifted me and I needed it sooooo bad. I went through a horrible divorce a few months ago. My estranged husband kicked me out and kept me from our four children ages, 11,10,9,8. My eleven year old is his stepson that he raised from a baby for eleven years. He got soo upset with me when I fought back that he ended up kicking my son out on the streets as well, separating our kids. That was worst then when he kicked me out and left me homeless. I didn’t have the finances that he had to continue paying my attorney, being a stay at home mom for eleven years, and ended up losing my younger three kids. This all went on while we were stationed in Hawaii. My three younger kids are still there and it has really been tough not being with them. Some days I feel like don’t want to go on, I don’t want to wake up. I pray every minute of the day that God will intervene in my situation and return my children to me and their brother. God please…. Reading these verses gave me encouragement not to give up. GOD PLEASE HELP ME….
More Letricia….as this article says, please stay in the Bible and pray continually seeking the face of God and He will be with you and lift your heavy load. I pray, along with others, that these Bible verses fill your heart with hope from the truth of God’s mighty word.
letrica,
My heart goes out to you my sister in Christ. My heart breaks for you. God doesn’t give us bad things, its in him that we get good things. Having children ripped and split is not an easy thing to deal with however with GOD all things are possible. He can take care of this situation. KEEP PRAYING sometimes its the best thing we can do. God is a God of justice and he hates injustice… Your babies deserve their mom in their life and God knows that. People aren’t perfect- pray for your Ex-Husband even though you may want to curse him instead. Everytime anxiety comes your way fight it back with Gods promises. I have found journaling has helped me and having some strong Christian friends has been a HUGE blessing to me. Plug into some good girl friends- they will help see you through this. I’ll pray for you today.
Peace be with you my sister,
Haylee
Oh Letrica, how difficult this must be. I can not imagine what you are going thru so I won’t try to pretend to say I understand. No one can truly feel what you must be feeling right now. I will say this that God does know what you must feel. I know that He feels our pain and hurt and cares very deeply. I immediately got down on my face, hands, & knees and prayed to the God of all comfort and read Psalm 103 where it says that “13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.”
I know that I am not alone in praying for you. I know that there is real power in prayer. There are other writers and staff here that will be joining me in prayer to cry out to God as the Psalmist does in Psalm 22:1-2, 11, 14, 24 “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. Do not be far from me,for trouble is near and there is no one to help. I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. [but here is hope] For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.”
Believe me that God will never leave you nor forsake you…just cry out to Him and pour all of your grief on Him…tell Him in prayers and crying out to Him all your grief and burdens…lay them all down on Him. Tell Him and know that He hears the cries of those who are in desperate and severe trials….we are joining you on the altar of God crying out for help for you. Please know that. Please keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doing. We care but God is perfectly aware and cares deeply for you as a Father that loves you and will not forsake you forever. I wish we could do more than cry out to God for you as well.
thanx for ur encourament, i v been feeling so discouraged but i know God will come through one day. thanx

I am so thankful, he (God) sent me to this website. This was a inspiration and lifted my soul. I feel renewed and ready to fight the war once again. Keep me lifted up in prayer I have a few obstacles/decisions coming and needing prayer and some encouraging words. Thank you!!!
Jessica & Raymie,
Thank you both for sharing with us in the comments and for your desire to seek God’s Holy Word. The fact that you found this article shows that you are seeking God for your strength. I pray that you go to Him daily and surrender to His purposes for your lives. God Bless You!
God’s Spirit gives knowledge and discernment that is supernatural. He is truth and it is so powerful, that it has the ability to give life to the whole body. Our minds (hearts) are so sensitive when intertwined with God that we can see things that are sadly missed by those who are without the blessing of Jesus’ love. By the spirit God’s word divides the soul and spirit asunder so that the truth of the heart is laid open. The light dwelleth with the Lord, and it is He Who is the source of all true spiritual life. His love is not to be missed, since the blessing is so great and wonderful. His mercy is everlasting!!!
What great insight Angie, thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks guys so much. These verses have been helping me through all 12 years of my life. God bless and pray for me.
Thanks so much for commenting Christian Jack. Keep having that hunger for the word of God!
It is amazing how God hears our prayers and always shows us that he is in control. If we just put our lives in his hands he will guide us. Four years ago I lost my Grammie since then it has been very difficult for me to go to church as she was a Very STRONG and Godly woman, who influenced me greatly. We were raised in the church, and until recently i cried just thinking about being there without her.I miss her very much , but know that she will always be with me and I will see her again. In Oct. of last year my husband and I went through what we felt was the worst and lowest place we had ever been.With in two weeks he lost his job and we were robbed of most of our valuables. Luckily we were not home at the time and no one got hurt. I pray that no one has to go through this. He was the soul provider for us. Luckily I had been blessed in getting a part time job a few months ahead of time. We had just enough money put aside to pay our bills for one month. Since we had moved to another cityand away from our for his job we hadn’t been going to church and we had been so wrapped up in our jobs that I think GOD was telling us HEY don’t forget about me. Although we do pray together and go to church when we can, we decided as soon as this happened that whatever it took we were going to rely on GOD. Its amazing how he speaks to us through others. We have the most amazing family and friends who prayed for us and gave us encouragement. Things have started turning around, by the power of prayer and positive thinking. We believe this will be the best year to the fresh start of the rest of our lives.God has given us the honor of testifying to a couple of our friends and through us they have worked things out and are no longer speaking of divorce. We have only been married a little over a yr and have already been through so much, but I know that every test we have gone through has made us stronger in each other and in our savior Jesus Christ. We are now faced with preparing ourselves for the loss of our Great Grandmother who any day will go home to be with GOD.. Your verses of strength have touched me and helped me so much, I appreciate you taking the time to share the word and Love of our Savior. I pray that he keeps you all well and safe. Thank you very much
Sincerely, Cherish
Cherish,
What a powerful testimony you shared here. I pray many read this. God has His way of brining us closer to Him and many times it is not in a way we expect. I heard on the radio today someone say to be strong you have to lift something heavy. God gave you a heavy load to lift so you would rely on Him for strength and now your faith is stronger because of this!
Amazing, what a great help this is. The minute you get into it, you do not notice the time. God’s word is just amazingly incredible. It worries me how easy it is , yet so difficult for us to follow, how I pray that the Lord may help our weekness ang give us strength to carry on through the valleys of the shadow of death we pass through everyday.
I thank God for the wonderful people who have been sharing God’s greatness and mercy through this website,…..I for one was going thru a very hard time for the past year and with the testimonies and many wonderful scriptures shared here really helped me to have more faith and reliance on God…..I got transferred (first job) to a place where I knew no one, later lost my uncle who had been looking after me since my own dad passed away when I was 6…..and accused of things which I know I didn’t even do…..but thank God, I am still standing strong with God’s help….my work seemed to be more important to me before being transferred …..that I now know that God took me to this place so that I can draw closer to Him….I know that even if I lose my job, I am still happy and content with my life knowing God will always be by my side…..I still have my job, my brothers, sister and I have accepted the loss of our uncle…as I am always reminded by Jeremiah 29:11 that only God knows the plans he has for me and that His plans are always for my prosperity and not to harm me……
Blessed day to you all
Hello Mele. Thank you for your comment and for your visiting the website. I too am thankful for this website and the writer, Josh, certainly chose the right Scriptures to help people find strength in God and in His Word, the Bible. What a great testimony this is and truly, God is sovereign and you came to this website by no accident but God must have wanted you to read these verses to strengthen you. I also love that Jeremiah quote because it gives us hope for the future.
I hope that you will come back again to comment and visit us again soon, when it is possible for you to do so. God bless you my friend.
I greatly appreciate this site because I just recently got saved. On DEC 31,2011, a spirit came upon me n it was like 4:00am in the morning as i was on my porch at home with my mother’s 2 friends and i was smoking but long story short in the midst of me done smoking i was talking all spiritual and just about GOD himself and out the blue a spirit over came me and it felt as though my body left me like i had died, and i got up and said “were here now come on do you all hear that that’s YAHWEH” and long story short i went into my home which the spirit lead me and i began to scream saying ” YES JESUS YES AND PLEASE GOD… I WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD”. and he spoke within me saying “do you want to praise me is that what you want?” and long story short my mother awoke and she gave me ice n wet rag on my head it calmed me but the spirit came upon me again and i began confessing things to her and me being stressed out. she said it seemed i was in a trance as I spoke to her . But long story short GOD said son you weren’t a bad person but you were doing and worried about all the wrong thing’s when you just need to seek me first. I brought my new years in with church which i didn’t attend often and now I’m their faithfully!
Congratulations on your new birth in Jesus Christ. That’s awesome news. The important thing is that you confessed things and to confess means that we agree with God about our sins. I believe that attending your church faithfully will help you so much because you will grow in Bible knowledge. God bless you and again, congratulations and I do hope you will come back to visit us again.
I surely will and thanks for the advice!
Hi, my name is lakeira , I was awaken out of my sleep because the enemy called my name. Reading these verses help me a lot it reminds me of the faith I have in Jesus Christ for that he is always with me I need to never forget because I have the faith and lord Jesus gives me the strenghth to go threw my trials and tribulations but this is not my battle I surrender my life in everything in it to god in lord Jesus name and so I believe and because he knows I do I happier in the father the son and of the holy spirit I love you and I beg of you to give me strength courage knowledge and wisdom
Thank you Lakeira for your commenting and visiting the website. You truly have found the right source for strength and that is Jesus Christ. I also loved your comment that this battle is not your battle but surrendering it in Jesus. Well said. Very wise. God bless you my friend and I do hope you will return to the website again soon.
Thanks so much…especially for the very last quote, it really spoke to me.
Thanks Nana for visiting the website and your comment. I agree with you too on this. Just looking at the number of comments, I can see that this article has impacted a lot of people. Please come back and visit us again soon when you can.
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
I’m so really blessed in this verse, I LOVE JESUS!!!!!!

Wow Rose, and we thank God for you for your visiting our website. There is such power in the Holy Word of God and as always, Josh has put together a powerful selection of Scriptures and I am glad it was a blessing to you. Please come back soon and visit us Rose.
We had a very hard project given us to us by our instructor to solve in just for two days. The project is so broad and complex that we should give all our efforts into it just to finish for 2 days.. Thank God that that project I am saying is just my imagination just to encourage myself that I can do my simple project. Thank God He did not give me a project as hard as that.. And thank God that the project I am doing is not billable in the company, and was just a project i our training.. And most of all thank God that I got a chance to participate in our training, although in the first place I wasn’t even included in the list of participants… Because in that way, I got a chance to improve my skills in programming and soon reach my dreams to be not just a developer but a system architect…
Sugoi desu ne :O
theiatheing, thank you for your comment and praise God that God is using you in a powerful way. God wants to grant us the desires of our heart (Psalm 37). Please come back soon and visit us again.
Wanted to share that I write poems in my time of grief and it really helps…
You were fashioned by Angels and sent from God above
to teach your friends and family about faith, hope, and love.
You raised your children and left “heart prints” on those you knew,
blessing future generations of the many that loved you.
Your love was something that’s just hard to explain.
It was made of deep devotion, sacrifice and sometimes even pain.
How patient and forgiving, selfless and kind.
Understanding and constant are just a few words that come to mind.
You soothed our disappointments and understood our tears.
You helped us make decisions and gently calmed our fears.
You gave us lectures when our mistakes were caught.
And made sure we were living the way we were taught.
Your laughter and smile will always be in our minds.
Sweet loving memories will never be hard to find.
Your life was lived for Jesus, it was very plain to see.
Your love was a reflection of God – the way it was meant to be.
Your grandkids were one of your greatest pride and joys.
You didn’t mind the mess they made and loved all the noise.
You loved to do for others and loved to cook and bake.
You showed everyone you loved them when you made them your famous Italian Cream Cake.
God blessed you with the gift of music and you played the piano from heart.
Those near you could feel the presence of the Lord from the very start.
You played His music with a wonderful touch.
And we will miss hearing you very much.
As your time here on earth was beginning to come to and end.
Our hearts were slowly breaking, knowing we would lose our wife, mother, Memaw, and dearest friend.
With tear filled eyes while holding your hand, we watched your journey to go be with the Lord
Blessing US with a peace that only His love could afford.
First thing you played when you entered Heaven, was “It is Well with my Soul” while Papo sang,
Granmas table was beautifully set for supper with all the family gang.
I know ya’ll had a great time of celebration and cheer.
While we struggled to understand why you had to leave us here.
You were an Angel here on earth teaching us about love.
Now you’ll be our Angel taking care of us from above.
God’s garden is now more beautiful and blessed
because He only reaches down to pick the very best.
We will miss you more than words can say.
But have a peace in knowing we’ll be together again someday.
The greatest gift you leave us is your legacy of love unmeasured.
And that’s something that all of us will forever treasure!
I wrote this about my precious mom, Dena Scott, who died suddenly of pancreatic cancer December 31, 2011. I love you & miss you dearly!
Marci, what a precious poem and loving tribute. I am so sorry for your loss. I thank God that you blessed us with this wonderful work my friend. Please come back and visit us again soon and again, our condolences for your great loss.
Thank you Jack…it provides some type of healing and peace for me to write things down. She means the world to me and many others- there were more than 700 people that came to the funeral- shewas loved by all. I will be back- I love this site.
Marci, by the number of people that showed up (Wow!) and your loving poetry and comment show that this woman was so very precious. I love the Scripture that says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints,” Psalm 116:15. I love that verse. I have lost my mother, my father I never knew, my brother…and so many. Please come back.
A joy shared is doubled.
A grief shared is halved.
Wow, you guys are amezing, these bible extractions have touched so many and will touch many more. God bless you all.
Tiku, thank you. It is comments like this that make us believe that we are helping to make a difference. God bless you and I will pass on to the writer of this article, Josh, that you enjoyed it so much. Please come back soon and visit us again.
The scriptures and comments have helped me tremendously this early morning. Thank you for doing what you do to help others with concerns. I am 70 years old and needed what I read today. Louie
