Common questions

What does it mean that God's power is made perfect in weakness?

This means that when we cannot do things on our own, God's great power is shown clearly to everyone. If we were always strong, people would think we did everything ourselves. But when we are weak and God helps us, it shows how loving, strong, and wonderful He is. Our weakness is like a window that lets God's bright light shine through.

How do I get strength from God when I feel totally empty?

You can get strength from God by talking to Him in prayer and telling Him exactly how you feel. He loves to hear from you. You can also read His promises in the Bible, like the verses on this page. Spending time with other Christians who love Jesus and singing songs of praise also help fill our hearts back up with His peace.

Does God promise to make all my hard times go away?

No, God does not promise that life will always be easy. We still face sad days and hard trials. However, God does promise that He will never leave us alone in those hard times. He will walk right beside us, hold our hand, and give us the exact amount of strength we need to get through each day safely.

Why does the Bible tell us to be strong and courageous?

The Bible tells us to be brave because we have a very big God. We do not have to be brave in our own power. We can be brave because the Lord our God is always with us wherever we go. Knowing that the Creator of the whole world loves us and protects us takes away our fear and makes us bold.

What is the joy of the Lord, and how is it my strength?

The joy of the Lord is the deep happiness we have because we know God loves us, forgives us, and has saved us through Jesus. This joy does not depend on our circumstances. Even when we are sad, knowing that we belong to God forever makes our hearts strong and keeps us from giving up hope.
