We may think of drawing on spiritual strength as a last resort.
We may even feel guilty for needing or asking for help.
But we are NOT SUPPOSED to rely on our own strength.

A time of illness and physical weakness is a perfect opportunity to learn to draw on a strength that does not feel like our own, only to find out
1) This strength is our entitlement.
2) This is the only real strength there is.

"Those who wait on the Lord
will renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."

(Isaiah 40:31, spiritual strength quote from the Bible)

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that
this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed.”
(2 Corinthians 4:7-9, NIV)

A prayer for strength for all who visit here.

Spiritual Strength and Rest

In a time of illness, we may feel so frustrated because we can't take the action we would like to take. But the next quote for spiritual strength makes it clear that our strength is found in repentance and rest, in quietness and trust. Chronic illness or pain can lead us to spend time in stillness and silence, and give us the chance to cultivate these qualities.

“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.

You said, ‘No, we will flee on horses.’
Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
A thousand will flee at the threat of one;
at the threat of five you will all flee away...”
(Isaiah 30:15-17, NIV)

“… guilty men, whose own strength is their god.”
(Habakkuk 1:11, NIV)

“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” (Revelation 3:17, NIV)

Wow! Those are powerful quotes to indicate that we are not strong on our own and not supposed to be strong on our own.
What we think of us our strength is often just us playing the games of this world.
Our spiritual strength IS our strength.

“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
But he said to me,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” ...
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses,
in insults,
in hardships,
in persecutions,
in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
(2 Corinthians 12:7-9,10, NIV)

“Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died,
yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.”
(Deuteronomy 34:7, NIV)

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
(Philippians 4:13, KJV)

"Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."
(Joel 3:10, KJV)

Spiritual strength quote from the book A Course In Miracles ACIM

Here is a spiritual strength quote from the book A Course In Miracles ACIM.

“The lion and the lamb lying down together
symbolize that strength and innocence are not in conflict,
but naturally live in peace.

"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God"
is another way of saying the same thing.

A pure mind knows the truth and this is its strength.
It does not confuse destruction with innocence
because it associates innocence with strength,
not with weakness.”
(T-3.I.5)
