Bible Verses for Strength & Courage

World English Bible

When you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you simply cannot go on, the Bible consistently points to a source of strength beyond your own. Isaiah 40:31 promises that those who wait on the Lord will "renew their strength" โ€” soaring on eagles' wings even in their weariness.

These Bible verses for strength are for the moments when you need more than you have โ€” more courage, more endurance, more resolve. They are reminders that God's power is made perfect in weakness, and that you do not face your battles alone.
