Key Takeaways
Scripture gives us strength when our own runs out.
In hard seasons - when your emotions feel like too much, when your energy is gone, when you’re barely holding on - God’s Word becomes your strength. Verses like Isaiah 41:10 and Psalm 34:18 remind you that you don’t have to be strong on your own. You are held. You are helped. His strength sustains you when yours is gone..
2. Meditating on God’s promises rewires your thoughts and renews your mind.
You don’t just need encouragement - you need transformation. And that begins with renewal of the mind. When you regularly speak, pray, and meditate on Scripture, you begin to shift your focus from fear to faith, from lies to truth. This is the heart of spiritual and emotional healing - and what leads to lasting change..
3. Even in your weakest moments, God’s grace is holding you together.
2 Corinthians 12:9 makes it clear: God’s grace is not just sufficient- it’s powerful in your weakness. You don’t have to perform for His love or get it all right to be used by Him. You can walk through struggle and still be rooted, resilient, and whole in Christ.

TRANSCRIPT
Isaiah 41:10
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
God promises His presence and strength when fear rises. You don’t have to carry your struggle alone.
Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
God draws near in your lowest moments. He sees, hears, and comforts the hurting.
Philippians 4:6–7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
You can bring your anxiety to God and trade it for His peace.
Romans 8:28
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Even when it doesn’t feel like it, God is working behind the scenes to redeem your pain.
2 Corinthians 12:9
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’”
You don’t have to be strong on your own—God’s power is made perfect in your weakness.
