A Prayer for Strength


Lord, I am weary and so tired.  I need your strength to lift me up.  I have no energy and feel that the world is caving in around me.  I need you to lift me up.  I need your strength to motivate me during this dark time in my life.  Your word says in Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Job cried out to you in his darkest hours and knew that you were still his strength.  He knew that the troubles that had befallen him did not come from you, oh Lord, he trusted in you always.  Job 23:6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.  I will stand strong like Job did.  Today, I put my trust in you and know that you are my strength that I don’t have to lean upon myself.  I will say the same thing David said in Psalm 18:1, I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.  I trust in you Lord and know that you are the one I need to lean on.  Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.  You said that you would never leave me nor forsake me.  Psalm 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.  I will stand strong and wait upon you Lord because I know that even when I don’t understand what is happening in my life that your ways are far above my ways and you have a reason for all things.  I will put my trust in you and wait.  Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.  I know lord that when I trust in you that you will lift me up.  I will praise you in the storm.  Psalm 28:7  The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.  Your word tells me to be of good courage and you will strengthen me.  I am standing upon your word and trusting in you.  I am placing all my hope in you.  Psalm 31:14 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.  I am trusting for all my needs and that in this time of sickness you will also strengthen me and give me hope.  Psalm 41:3 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.  Lord, let all that I do or say be pleasing to you.  Let me not fail to thank you in all things and trust in you.  Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
