How do I find the strength to face life’s challenges?

Joshua 1:7Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.

1 Chronicles 28:20“Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.”

Instead of being discouraged by the size of the task, be encouraged by the limitless power of God.

Hebrews 6:18So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

The strength to handle challenges comes from God, for he is all-powerful. Therefore, you must stay close to him through Bible study and prayer, never doubting his promises to help and strengthen you. When you face opposition, always stand your ground on the truth of God’s Word. When you do, you cannot be shaken.

John 16:33“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Jesus has already walked this path before you. He knows that this world is full of challenges, but you can find strength to face them knowing that he has already overcome.
