We can learn something very important about God from each of these stories, something that will give us the strength of heart we need to “get back up again” no matter what comes our way.
Six ways God helps us develop inner strength.
Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
Spirituality and the Bible can help us redefine what being vulnerable should look like, and show us how it can lead to great power.
In a moment of crisis, some unlikely but life-changing relationships can be forged.
Jesus’s disciples found the emotional strength to carry out their incredible task by being in prayer continually.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.
Vulnerability is key to building real and meaningful relationships
We all want to be cared for, known, understood, and loved for who we are. God is the starting place for this kind of intimacy.
When we live with a genuine faith in God, we are not afraid to dream, imagine, sacrifice, or take risks. Our confidence is in the God of Scripture, whose presence and power flow through those who have chosen to believe.
Faith makes the impossible possible. Our relationship with God should produce the kind of faith that moves mountains.
