Strength Prayers

“I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

Philippians 4:13 (WEB)

“Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

“Then he said to them, "Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for today is holy to our Lord. Don't be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength."”
