Bible Verses for Strength and Courage
Biblical strength is not pretending you never feel tired. It is receiving help, courage, and endurance from God when your own resources feel small. These passages point beyond self-reliance toward Christ’s sustaining presence. Use them as anchors before a demanding task, during a season of waiting, or whenever you need to remember that weakness is not the end of your story.

God didn't give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.2 Timothy 1:7 · GW
"I have commanded you, 'Be strong and courageous! Don't tremble or be terrified, because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.' "Joshua 1:9 · GW
But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me.2 Corinthians 12:9 · GW
Yet, the strength of those who wait with hope in the Lord will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired.Isaiah 40:31 · GW
Finally, receive your power from the Lord and from his mighty strength. Put on all the armor that God supplies. In this way you can take a stand against the devil's strategies. This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.Ephesians 6:10–12 · GW
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. The Lord should be praised. I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies.Psalm 18:2–3 · GW
The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusted him, so I received help. My heart is triumphant; I give thanks to him with my song.Psalm 28:7 · GW
