What Does the Bible Say About Strength?

One of the Bible's great paradoxes is that true strength is found in acknowledging our weakness. Paul wrote, "When I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10), because God's power is made perfect in our limitations.

Isaiah 40:29-31 promises, "He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength... they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength." This isn't strength through self-improvement — it's strength received from God.

Whether you're physically exhausted, emotionally drained, spiritually depleted, or facing a challenge that feels beyond your capacity, Scripture promises a strength that doesn't depend on your own reserves. Find personalized verses below.
