•

Author/Editor: Melkisedeck Leon Shine, 2015-2017: AckySHINE.com

Life is full of challenges, and at times it can be difficult to find the strength to overcome them. However, as Christians, we have a powerful source of inspiration and guidance at our disposal - the Bible. God's word provides us with countless examples of individuals who faced tremendous challenges but found the faith and courage to overcome them. In this article, we will explore 15 Bible verses that can help us find the strength needed to conquer any obstacle that comes our way.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31
"For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." - Isaiah 41:13
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him." - Psalm 28:7
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
"Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:3-4
"The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." - Proverbs 18:10
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." - Psalm 18:2
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." - Psalm 55:22
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28

These Bible verses remind us that we are not alone in our challenges. Just as God was with Moses when he led the Israelites out of Egypt, just as Jesus calmed the stormy seas, and just as countless others in the Bible faced their own trials and tribulations, we too can find the faith and courage to overcome our challenges.

In times of hardship, we must turn to God, trusting in His promises and seeking His guidance through prayer. We must remember that He is our strength, our refuge, and our deliverer. With faith and courage, we can face whatever comes our way, knowing that God is with us every step of the journey.

So, dear reader, as you face your own challenges, I encourage you to love God with all your heart, believe in Him and trust in His plans for your life. Embrace the love and support of your fellow believers, and in turn, love one another. Remember that God loves you unconditionally, and He will never leave nor forsake you. Trust in Him, and may His blessings and peace be upon you always. 🙏❤️

Hebrews 12:1-3 – "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Acts 17:24-28 – "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'"
