Strength Quotes For Encouragement
The Bible is full of strength scriptures to live by. These passages will bring many encouraging thoughts to your day.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
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.
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.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
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.

Pins and needles may also NOT have an anatomical cause. It can be related to a chronic pain syndrome or ANXIETY. A home strengthening exercise program and heat packs can help alleviate the symptoms. Don’t worry about anything but put it in prayer to God is the answer to anxiety, then trust and rely on Him.
Irene thanks a lot.I really appreciate your concern.I believe God for healing.by His stripes am healed.am getting better now
Hi Gift (great name, by the way)
I have witnessed healings when calling on the name of Jesus. My mum, dad and older sister cried out to Jesus when my sister’s toddler girl drowned in our back yard pool. The doctors said she would be in a vegetative state at best but my family believed for our baby to be fully healed, fully restored, and our baby WAS fully healed and fully restored. Soon after that she was running around the ward being a nuisance to the nurses! She did very well all through school and is now a mother and a wedding photographer and a real estate property manager. Praise God!

may the blessings of jesus shower you up. thanks jack! i’ll be christian one day
Thank you Remedan for your encouraging comment. You say that you’ll “be a Christian one day.” Why are you waiting my friend? If Christ returns and you haven’t repented and put your trust in Him it will be too late. Maybe I am misunderstanding you and if I am, I am so sorry. Are you not saved right now?
As life appears to become more challenging and as I grow older, I often hope that our Lord will encourage each of us who believe in Jesus. My hope for the children of the world is that they will know God’s love and live in hope that He can and will deliver them all from abandonment, from discouragement, from rejection and stigma. My prayer also goes to all Christian people that must flee today from where they came from in order to continue to read the bible, and to celebrate the life of Jesus. May our world be protected from God in all matters now until Jesus comes back to set things right on earth. amen
Im uplifted…My lord is keeping his words I am walking in the valley of death but I feel his hand all the times…he is hear! he love he cares for me.
