(CLICK HERE TO PRAY WITH ME FOR STRENGTH!) Please! I Need Strength Today! After What Happened Today, My Heart is Torn! Everyone’s Heart is Torn! Pray with me!
I know what it feels like to smile in public and crumble in private. I know the weight of feeling like you’re supposed to be “okay” because you’re a Christian, even when everything inside you is screaming for help.
But being a Christian doesn’t mean we don’t struggle. It means we struggle differently. It means we struggle with hope—and that’s what I want to talk about today.
I had a rough morning. If you’re reading this after August 27, 2025, then google that date so you know why I had a horrible morning. I just don’t want to get into it all.
But, I needed strength, as we all do, for whatever the reason may be.
So I whispered, “God, please give me strength.” And it wasn’t poetic. It wasn’t even confident. It was raw and desperate. But He met me there. And I want to share the prayers and verses that helped lift me up. Because if they lifted me today, I believe they can lift someone else, too.
“We praise you that nothing is impossible with you… In our weakness, you make us strong.”
This one hit deep. Because I don’t feel strong right now. But strength isn’t something I need to manufacture. It’s something I receive. From Him. That’s why Philippians 4:13 isn’t a motivational quote—it’s a declaration:
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
Not because I’m good. Not because I’m capable. But because He is.
-Prayer For When I’m Overwhelmed-
“You have shown me that falling is not always failing.”
This line made me cry. I’ve fallen a lot lately—emotionally, spiritually, even physically. I’ve doubted myself, second-guessed decisions, and sat in the pit of “not enough.” But God reminded me through this prayer that falling doesn’t disqualify me. He picks me up—again and again.
Isaiah 41:10 says:
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you…”
That’s not a suggestion. That’s a promise.
–Prayer For The Strength to Survive–
I felt so convicted praying this over persecuted believers. My stress feels real—but some of our brothers and sisters are dying for this faith. And yet they hold on. It humbled me. It reminded me that God isn’t just enough for small problems—He is enough for the big, life-threatening ones too.
And if He can sustain them in prisons, warzones, and underground churches, He can sustain me right here in my living room, with my messy heart and anxious mind.
–A Prayer in the Storm–
“In turbulent times… You are my strength.”
Whew. I needed that. Because my storm isn’t going away overnight. But God never promised a storm-free life—He promised to be my refuge in the storm.
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…” – Isaiah 40:31
That’s the kind of strength I need. Not hyped-up energy. Not fake positivity. Renewed strength. Strength that lets me wait well.
I’m not the kind of Christian who sugarcoats. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that quoting a few verses makes all my anxiety disappear. But I will tell you what does happen: my perspective changes. My posture shifts. My faith wakes up.
And I begin to remember that my feelings are real—but they’re not in charge. God is.
–Prayer For the Weary–
“Lord, I need You.”
Honestly, that could be my life motto. I need Him to help me sort through the chaos—internal and external. I need His Spirit to guide me through every “I don’t know what I’m doing” moment. And I’m tired of trying to be strong on my own.
–A Prayer for God’s Power–
“Help us not to underestimate You in our praying.”
Let that line marinate for a second. How many of us pray like God is small? Like He might help… if He’s not too busy? Nah. He’s the King of the Universe. He is not overwhelmed by my mess. He’s not afraid of my questions. He invites me to pray big prayers—and believe He’s big enough to answer them.
–Prayer For Guidance and Strength–
Right now, I need both. I need God to direct my steps and give me the energy to walk them out. It’s not enough to know the way—I need Him to walk it with me. And He does.
“Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6
If you’re living without prayer—you’re living on fumes.
If you’re trying to be strong without God—you’re building your house on sand.
I love you too much not to say that. The world teaches us to be “self-made,” but Christianity calls us to be Spirit-led. That means putting down the fake strength and picking up His supernatural strength.
Every prayer I shared today isn’t just a “nice thought.” It’s a weapon.
A weapon for your warfare.
A weapon for your weariness.
A weapon for your tomorrow.
You’re not too far gone. You’re not too broken. You’re not too weak.
You’re right where God can show up—and show off.
So pray. Even if your voice shakes. Even if all you can say is “God, help me.” He hears. He answers. And He strengthens.
Unshaken.
