Tag: Bible verses about letting God help us with our weaknesses

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-19

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, we not only gain eternal life, we also gain strength.

People don’t realize how weak we are without Christ in us.

We may think we are strong because of the way we handle ourselves from day to day. But wait until one thing happens that we weren’t expecting and then see how much we need Him.

It’s not that we want anything to happen to anyone, but the Bible specifically tells us that in this world there will come trials and tribulations. But it does not say we will overcome them on our own.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

It specifically says that He has overcome them, and if we are His children, we too will overcome them as we walk in His wisdom and strength.

We are weak without Him. But the good news is that He gives power to the weak! He increases our strength!

Have we ever been going through a tough time, yet we can still smile and be an encouragement to someone?

People may not understand how we could have joy in the midst of a storm or help someone else when we ourselves are going through some things. But that is the strength that He gives us in our weakest moments.

He is good! Eternal life is the most precious gift anyone could ever be given. But that is not all that He gives us. He cares enough to help us here on earth before we reach heaven, and He increases our strength as well.

When we receive Christ as our Savior, He sets us free from sin, gives us eternal life with Him, and gives us strength when we are weak. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-19

Psalm 118:5-6 (NKJV) 5  I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

When fear hits home, when problems come, when we have no idea how to fix something or change it, call on the Lord. Call on the name of Jesus!

Don’t wait one more second. The Lord will answer, and He will set us in a safe place. A place where we can discern and hear what it is that we need to do.

Follow Him and obey the answer He gives to help us, even if we might not understand it all.

He is on our side.

Psalm 121:2 (NKJV) 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Do not be afraid.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-19

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We very rarely put ourselves in a place where we have to be strong. If anything, we try to avoid such situations. But there may come a time when we will all find ourselves in such a place and we don’t know how to handle it. We think we are all alone and have no one to turn to. But that is not the case.

No matter what we have to face we can always turn to the Lord and face it with Him. He is there waiting to help us.

So, when it is time for us, we need to remember what the Lord says and hold it dear to our hearts. Be strong, not by our own strength, but be strong in Him who goes with us wherever we go.

He is here with us and for us, standing strong as always. Willing to uphold us with His hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Oh, Heavenly Father,

Thank you today for always being there for us. You’re always willing and ready to help Your son or daughter. You are so good to us, and we want You to know that we are grateful and blessed for the love that you have for us.

We love you. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-19

Psalm 50:15 (NKJV) 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

One of the biggest mistakes we can make as believers is to try to solve all of our problems on our own.

So many times, when we get into a situation that’s troublesome or problematic, we totally forget that we have a Father who wants us to go to Him for help. And we try to face it on our own.

It’s a natural reaction for most of us to jump right into action and start problem solving. But God wants us to go to Him first, before we jump into action. In fact, when we do jump into action, the first thing we should do as part of our problem-solving steps is to ask Him for His help!

It can take some time for us to break free of our old ways and start doing things the way God wants us to. Habits are hard to break.

But if we will let God help us break this one, it will help make our lives easier, more enjoyable and, most importantly, more God-pleasing.

So, let’s learn to put God first, even in our problems. Let Him lead the way through the darkness and out into the light, where we can give Him all of the honor and glory for delivering us. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-18

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

How many of us try to be strong at something in particular, and time after time we fail?

We think, “oh, maybe next time we will get it right”. We keep trying and we make an honest effort, but still to no avail.

There is a reason we keep failing. But we can’t let it discourage us. We just need to get understanding, so we can get it right. So here’s what most of us need to change.

We need to let God be our strength. It is in our weakness that His strength is made perfect.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

So, we can’t give up and look down on ourselves. Be encouraged today and let Him be our rock.

These things we keep battling with are the very things that we need His power, might and strength if we are to conquer them.

Be strong in the LORD and win! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-18

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God has told us that His strength is made perfect in weakness. Praise God…it’s made perfect!

He can turn our weakness around with His strength.

We need to recognize our weaknesses first, and instead of waiting to go to God until we get them right or fixed, we need to run to Him with them immediately.

Most times, our very weakness will keep us from going to Him. But it’s because of our weakness that we should go to Him.

We may try over and over again to make things right. It could take us some time and we may still never get it right, only to end up right where we started again.

Weakness can’t fix weakness. But strength can fix it and get rid of it for good!

God has the strength we need to fix the weakness within us. And His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We’ve got the weakness, and we need His strength to fix it completely and get rid of it for good.

Go to Him, talk to Him about our weakness. Lay it all out and get His strength working in us.

Getting rid of the weaknesses in us may take some time. God will work on us and in us.

Don’t give up or get discouraged if we don’t feel change right away. Have faith in God and what His word says.

Be patient and keep following His steps. His strength will eventually become evident where we were once weak.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-30-15

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

We all have our weaknesses and our frailties. None of us is without them.

Perfection escapes us and leaves us lacking in many areas. And this lack creates the need for depending on someone else to help us in those areas of weakness.

And this is where God’s grace comes in. Because we are imperfect, we make mistakes. Poor choices and bad decisions can cause us to fall into sin, needing forgiveness and mercy from God, our Maker.

And His grace is abundant! In fact, He tells us that His grace is sufficient, which means that it is more than enough.

Having weaknesses isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s how we’re made. We are human, therefore we are frail. And it’s this frailty that shows us our need for God, to strengthen us in those weak areas and give us what we need to stand strong and excel where we have previously failed.

Needing God is not something to be embarrassed about. There’s not a human being who has ever lived, or will ever live who doesn’t need Him. We just need to understand and appreciate the fact that we do need Him and then give Him the glory and thanks for being our strength where we have a weakness.

So let’s stop pretending to be so strong all the time. It’s OK to drop the facade and get real with Him. He knows our weaknesses anyway, so admitting them and asking Him for help will just make things less complicated and help us get through the trials and tough times that much more quickly.

His grace is sufficient.
