What does it mean to be strong?

Part of being strong and having good courage means trusting in the Lord as our true source of strength.

How can we be strong and of a good courage?

Being strong and courageous usually doesn’t require any grand gestures. Often, our daily small decisions demonstrate our trust in God. As we prayerfully seek His direction, study His word, and follow His example each day, we will have the courage to let go of fear and face our challenges with faith. Practicing our faith daily is the way to become strong and courageous.

Did Gideon have the strength to defeat Midian? He was not alone. Did Eleazer, as mighty of a warrior as he was, have the strength to defeat an entire army on his own? Not a chance. Did a 600-man unarmed army stand a chance against an army so vast it was uncountable? They should have just surrendered.

Do you want to be courageous for God? It is really simple to do. Go in your strength, cling to the Word of God, and understand that God is already at work in people’s hearts; we are just the broken pot that God uses to demonstrate His glory.

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Dear God, in my circumstances, I feel trapped and helpless. You see the fear in my eyes; you see my troubling heart. But when we hit flat-out, we hit rock bottom—emotionally, financially, mentally, and spiritually. The crash may be painful, but you are my rock at the bottom.

God you are our protection and our strength.

Help me to be strong and courageous. You always helped us in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid if the earth shakes or if the mountains fall into the sea.

Dear Father You did not instill in us a spirit that makes us afraid. You gave us a spirit of power, love, and self-control. You commanded us to be strong and courageous. Gracious and loving God, give me courage and strength today. Help me to face everything today with my head held high. I stand on the rock, lifting up my sword and shield. May I be confident, capable, and willing to do your will? Take away my spirit of fear, and assure me that you are always there when I call. Thank you, Father. In Jesus name, I pray, AMEN.
