"Lord! my soul is burdened By a weight of care, And my foot is taken in the fowler's snare; ​Darkness gathers o'er me, I shall fall or flee: Helper of the helpless, Rise and succor me! Dangers seem to threaten, Tempters' wiles assail; In Thy light I see them, Yet I weakly quail. Strange unholy terrors In my bosom rise; "What distrustful language— Heavy groans and sighs! Thoughts of sin's defilement Born of faithless mood, Hosts of unclean devils, guests of hell's dark brood, Leave me lame and mourning, Blind to seek and trace All the glorious beauty Of Immanuel's face. Look, oh, look upon me! See my wounds! and hear In my soul's veiled chambers, what dishonoring fear! Withered arms for service, And a palsied frame That hath scarce a heart-throb At Thy precious name. Touch me, cleanse me, heal me! Thou didst give me life; Speak the word, and save me From this deadly strife. Thine is full salvation, And the gift is free: Helper of the helpless, Rise ...

"Be patient - wait God's time. He knows the best.  Though plans are crossed, unanswered your requests. Even when you suffer from the stunning blow, When He to your petition answers, "no." When all is dark around, just kneel in prayer. Tell Him you're trusting. He will bless you there." By Mrs Clara Simpson " Make every day a walk with Thee. New glory shall the sunshine gain. And all the clouds shall lightened be Go with me on life's dusty road And help me bear the weary load. Talk with me, Master, by the way. The voices of the world recede The shadows darken o'er the land. How poor am I, how great my need. Speak to my heart disquieted. Till it shall lose it's fear and dread. Bide with me, Master, all the way. Though to my blinded eyes unknown. So shall I feel a presence near Where I had thought I walked alone. And when, far spent, the day decline Break Thou the bread, dear Guest o...

I was reminded of these verses at Church this morning. We can trust the Lord. He is in control of all things. Our lives and times are in His hands.  He has promised many precious things in His Word and He will always be faithful! Here's the link to the sermon. It's a good challenging one! https://youtu.be/NjR21V_3JiM

This is by no means an exhaustive list of Scriptures mentioning Strength, but I found them very encouraging. I hope you do too. "The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him." Exodus 15:2 "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2 "The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1 "The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." Psalm 28:7 "For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth." Psalm 31:4-5 "For You are the God of my strength; Why d...

I really love this song I heard years ago.  I don't know who wrote it. "What a morning it will be, When I see You face to face. Every trial and tribulation Will be worth it in that moment of: (Chorus) Wonderful grace, wonderful grace, Jesus Wonderful grace, wonderful grace What a morning it will be! What a morning it will be, When I gaze into Your eyes. Every tear and every sorrow Will be wiped away in that moment of:   (Chorus) What a morning it will be, When I hear You say my name. All my fear and all my doubting Will be washed away in that moment of: (Chorus)

I read this in Spurgeon's Checkbook of Faith today, and it really blessed me. Hope you're blessed by it too. "Let us rest ourselves upon Him. He is our refuge, let us hide in Him; He is our strength, let us array ourselves with Him; He is our help, let us lean upon Him; He is our very present help, let us repose in Him now. We need not have a moment's care or an instant's fear. "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." C.H. Spurgeon
