Encouragement Devotion: Building Resilience and Inner Strength
You Are Stronger Than You Think
Life brings challenges, trials, and unexpected hardships. There are moments when you might feel like giving up, like the weight of your struggles is too much to bear. But even in those moments, God is strengthening you.
Resilience is not about avoiding difficulties—it’s about growing through them. Every challenge you face is shaping you into someone stronger, wiser, and more equipped for the road ahead. God never wastes your struggles; He uses them to build endurance, deepen your faith, and prepare you for greater things.
You may feel weak at times, but God’s strength is working within you. He never asks you to go through hardships alone. Instead, He promises to walk with you, uphold you, and give you the endurance to keep going. If you feel like you’re struggling, trust that He is doing something in you through this season.
You are not being broken; you are being built.
God’s Promises for Strength and Resilience:
Choosing Strength in the Face of Challenges

If you’re walking through a tough season, remind yourself:
Every difficulty you face is an opportunity to grow in faith and endurance. God is not letting you be defeated—He is teaching you how to rise.

Give me endurance for the journey, faith to keep moving forward, and confidence in Your power working within me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
