Prayer For Strength Images

Do you want to strengthen your prayer life? Then these Christian prayers for strength will do the job!

I know that sometimes you feel very weak and overwhelmed. This can really get you down. All of the responsibilities in life can be hard to deal with at times. I know quite a few people who have been like this and they have never turned to prayer.

When I face a difficult challenge in life, one of the first things I do is pray for strength. I believe God has promised to give us the strength we need to carry out our responsibilities and overcome hardships.

Here at Churchgists, we know that the very best way to help you communicate with God is to not speak at all. In fact, we encourage our visitors to echo their prayers into the empty space where God always listens and never speaks. I totally get it. Sometimes we just want a quick prayer without thinking about what exactly it is that we’re praying for. Of course, praying for strength is important, too! So with that being said, here are some images you can look at while you pray for power!

Today’s collection includes images of strength, energy, passion, and power. Use them as wallpapers to help you stay motivated to pursue your goals or use them as avatars.

Prayer For Strength During Difficult Times

God, please give me strength.

I know that you are there, and I believe in you. I believe in your love for me, and I also believe that you want me to be happy. And yet sometimes it feels like my life is not going as planned, and that makes me feel sad. I know this is a test of faith—a test of my faith in you and a test of my faith that things will get better if only I can wait long enough.

But Lord, the waiting is hard. And sometimes it seems like things won’t get better no matter how much time passes or what I do to try to make them better. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever change—and if nothing changes then why should I bother getting out of bed? Why should I keep trying? It’s all so overwhelming: the pain, the fear… the loneliness.

Lord God Almighty, please help me! Please give me strength!

You may be finding yourself in a situation where you don’t know how to carry on. Whether you are physical, financial, or emotionally weary, you can feel trapped and overwhelmed. It is in these difficult times that we were meant to trust in God and call upon Him for strength.

Prayer For Strength And Protection

Lord, I need You. Please help me sift through the things in my heart, my mind, and even the things on my calendar. Thank you for being the source of all the strength I ever need. Lead me with Your Spirit today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. – by Gwen Smith, Girlfriends in God

Oh, God, today help us to live with faith. May it not be said of us that our faith is too small, or to help us to look to You, to see in You, Your infinite power. Your infinite glory, and greatness, and grander, and majesty, Your infinite ability. Keep us, oh God, from trusting in our power. Help us to trust in Your power. Help us to pray accordingly as we pray, even right now. God, help us to realize we’re talking to You, the king of the universe that has all authority and all power, who’s sovereignly ruling and reigning over all things. Help us not to underestimate You in our praying. As we pray for others, as we serve others, help us to do that cognizant of Your power.

“We don’t want to lead our lives to do ministry to others in our own power, in our own strength, in our own ability. Forgive us, oh God, for our tendency to do that. Lord, help us to trust in You. Help us to seek You. Help us to believe You. God, give us greater faith, we pray. Lord, help us to live with trust in Your power to do that which would be impossible otherwise. We think about things that we’re praying for, I’m guessing and supposing, in each of our lives right now. That we know if You don’t come through, if You don’t do it, it won’t happen. We trust, oh God, that You have the power to do it. You have the power to answer these prayers, so we pray that You do it in a way that displays Your glory. Give us faith like that. “We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. (from Pray the Word, Back to the Bible)

O God, in wonderful ways you created and redeemed mankind. Give us steadfast minds to resist the allurements of sin that we may attain the joys of eternal life. Hear us, O Lord. Amen.

Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and allowing me to cry out to you in my times of need. It is amazing to me that the Lord of the Universe would take time to listen to me and to care about what I say. God, there are things happening around me right now that I do not understand. Some of these things make me feel weak, helpless and afraid. Even in the midst of this, I know that you are the Lord. I know that the situation is in Your hand, and I trust You. I beseech you for strength and for wisdom that I would be able to endure this situation and be able to handle it in a way that would bring glory to Your name. In Jesus name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, You are my strength and my defense. I humble myself before You, and I declare in my weakness, You are strong. There is no other like You. Thank You for clothing me in Your power and righteousness. I am enough because of You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. – Arlene Pellicane, Encouragement for Today

Prayer For Strength For A Friend

7 Beautiful Prayers for Strength for a Friend

If your friend needs strength, pray for them to receive spiritual strength and comfort from God. May these prayers for a friend help to express your gratitude and support for those close to you needing strength.

Prayer is the way we communicate with God. It indicates a back and forth dialogue—a time of listening and a time of speaking. It’s the place where we worship, confess, repent, and make requests.

I have a consistent running dialogue in my head and heart with the Lord. I tell him my hurts and my questions along with my wonder—over the sunset and the iridescent colors revealed when the sun flashes on the pheasant’s feathers.

I tell him my failings and share my struggles over climbing this next mountain. I share my fears about whether or when the storms will abate. Simply put, prayer is something I begin at the start of the day and don’t say amen until I fall asleep.
