Catholic bible verse about strength7/2/2023 He has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”Ģ Timothy 1:7-10 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you do not be dismayed, for I am your God. Romans 8: 38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ-to the glory and praise of God.” God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3-11 “I thank my God every time I remember you. Do not be afraid do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”ġ Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace-as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.” Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. What can mere mortals do to me?”ġ Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Psalm 56:3-4 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. He will take great delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”ġ Peter 5: 6-10 “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.” In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Wealth and honor come from you you are the ruler of all things. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom you are exalted as head over all. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Read these scriptures to help you navigate through these and other uncertain times.ġ Chronicles 29: 10-13 “David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. You may be asking: will what we are experiencing now be permanent? Will Covid-19 be cured? Will life get back to “normal”? This is indeed a time of great uncertainty, and if you are prone to anxiety, as I am, you may be wondering where God is in all of this. People are angry, fearful, depressed, and uncertain about what the future holds. I’ve never known a time where we are mandated to remain at home, not group together, not have physical contact with people other than those in our “cohort” groups. More lives lost, more people infected, more lockdowns, businesses closed, job losses, long line-ups, social distancing, and the wearing of masks is our reality now. One cannot escape the news updates daily. I have never experienced a global pandemic, and the continuing crisis permeates every aspect of life right now. This has been a year unprecedented in my lifetime.
