Isaiah 40:29
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

When Jesus walked on this earth, He spent time with the lowly. The cripples, the lepers, the blind and sick; people who were seen as being “beyond repair” whether because of their physical condition, or because of their multitude of sins. But Christ looked past their weaknesses and shortcomings. Many of them He healed, and we remember to this day how power was given to the faint. Jesus may not be walking the earth today, but the Word still holds true: He will provide your strength when you have no strength of your own, if you put your faith in Him.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

There’s nothing that you can’t do with Christ by your side. He will comfort you, equip you, and guide you as you serve Him with your life. History is full of people who obeyed God faithfully, and when they did, He helped them accomplish things that they could have never imagined doing on their own. You can do all things through Christ… because, in reality, you can’t do anything without Him. Every breath in your lungs comes from the Lord, and if you allow Him to strengthen and steer you, there are no limits to what you can accomplish in His name.

2 Corinthians 12:10
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

As a Christian in a sinful world, expect hardships and persecution in your life. But be content in all circumstances; this earth is not your home! If you’ve accepted Christ’s payment for your sins, your destination is Heaven. Anything that happens here is just a stone in the road, and if you persevere and obey God even when it’s hard, He will bless you… whether that’s in this life, or the next. Through weakness, hardships and calamities, your strength will be your devotion to Christ.

2 Corinthians 12:9
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 of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

You are finite, but your God is infinite. There is nothing that He can’t equip you for, and your weakness gives Him more opportunity to demonstrate His goodness. Many times in the Bible, God chose people who seemed the least equipped to do the greatest things. Moses struggled with speaking, David was the smallest in his family, and an angel found Gideon hiding in a well. What makes the heroes of the Bible stand out isn’t their natural talent; instead, it’s their trust in God, even when they don’t feel that they can trust themselves. God’s power is made perfect in your weakness, and if you obey Him and remain humble, He will use you for amazing things.

Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

It’s long been believed that anxiety and sadness wear down the body, and science continues to prove that it’s true. God created people to live in harmony with Him, not to be heartbroken and stressed. If you allow yourself to be anxious about the things you can’t control, you could spend the rest of your life worrying. But God is good, and He sees every circumstance in your life; He has promised never to leave you or forsake you, and if God is for you, who can be against you? Anxiety will always weigh you down, but the Word of the Lord makes the heart glad.

Romans 8:5-6
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

When you came to know Christ, He made you a new creation. The old you melted away, and the new you took their place. You don’t belong to the world or to “the flesh” anymore, so don’t live like it! Live and breathe as the Holy Spirit guides you and focus on the things He leads you to. How can you serve God? What is His will for your life? Who can you share the gospel with? If your thoughts and intentions remain on the temporary aspects of this world, nothing good will come of it; but if your heart is set on the Lord, you will be serving and pleasing Him, and will experience life and peace.
