Biblical Answer

Finding Strength in the Struggle

When facing another day, it can be overwhelming to feel a lack of strength to tackle our challenges. However, the Bible reminds us that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from God. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Paul writes, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." This passage emphasizes that our weaknesses are not a hindrance to God's power, but rather a catalyst for it to be displayed. When we feel weak, we must remember that God's strength is made perfect in our weaknesses.

Spiritual Exercise and Strength

The Bible also teaches that spiritual exercise is necessary to build strength. Just as physical exercise requires us to push ourselves beyond our limits to see results, spiritual exercise requires us to engage with God and His Word in a meaningful way. In 1 Timothy 4:7-8, we read, "Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales and live a life of devotion to the Lord, body and spirit. Exercise daily in the discipline of devotion to the Lord, as you prepare for the next day, so that you may be a good minister of the Word." This passage encourages us to engage in spiritual exercise daily, so that we can be a good minister of the Word and build our strength in God. When we exercise our faith, we get stronger, and we are better equipped to face the challenges of the day.

Praying for Strength and Guidance

Finally, when we feel weak and unsure of how to face another day, we must pray for strength and guidance. In Philippians 4:13, we read, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." This verse reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles, and that God is always available to give us the strength we need. When we pray, we must ask God to help us know what to do, and to give us the strength to do it. By praying and engaging in spiritual exercise, we can build our strength in God and face another day with confidence and courage. As we live for God, He will help us in ways we've never before realized, and we will be able to overcome our challenges and live a life that reflects His strength and power.
