My God, My Strength- Get Closer To God

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

Isaiah 49:5

"For I am honored in the eyes of the Lord, and my God has been my strength."

My God. My Strength.

Hello Reader,

​

I'm very grateful you're here today. You'll see what happens when you make God's Word a priority in your life: great things will happen.

Let's experience this today, with a strong verse from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.

Chapter 49 is part of the Servant Songs, where God speaks about His chosen servant who feels unseen and discouraged, yet remains secure in God’s calling.

This verse reminds us that even when our efforts feel unnoticed, our worth and strength come from God’s approval—not human recognition.

How to Apply It To Your Life...

🌿

Let God Define Your Worth

Your value is not determined by success, failure, or the opinions of others; you are honored in God’s eyes simply because you belong to Him.

✝️

Draw Strength from God Alone

When your own strength runs out, remember that God is the source who sustains you through weariness, doubt, and discouragement.

🕊️

Keep Going When You Feel Unseen

Even in quiet seasons where your work feels hidden, trust that God sees you, honors your faithfulness, and is working through you.

Let's Pray Together...

Dear Lord my God,
I know that in Your eyes I am loved and that I belong to You. You are the one who shows me favor and calls me Your own. There are moments when I feel weak, but You are my strength—You sustain me and help me persevere.

You know me completely, my Creator, my Savior, my confidant, and my closest friend. You understand my needs even before I speak them. Help me to live in obedience to Your Word and to be a shining example of Your love to the world around me.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Have a Blessed Day Out There...

There’s no reason to feel lonely when God is always with us. He provides us with the strength and perseverance we need.

All we need to do is trust Him.

Always pray, lend a hand, share the message, and stay strong in your faith!

God is with you every step of the way, guiding you through life.
