"Do You Need Strength?"
God does not ask us to do in own strength the work before us. HE has provided divine assistance for all the emergencies to which our human resources are unequal.
Testimonies, vol. 8, p. 19
When you rise in the morning, do you feel your helplessness and your need of strength from God/ and do you humbly, heartily make known your wants to your heavenly Father? If so, angels mark your prayers, and if these prayers have not gone forth out of feigned lips, when you are in danger of unconsciously doing wrong an exerting n influence which will lead others to do wrong, your guardian angel will be by your side, prompting you to better course, choosing your words for you, and influencing your actions.
Testimonies, vol. 3, pp. 363,364
Words cannot describe the peace and joy possessed by him who takes God at His word. Trials do not disturb him, slights do not vex him. Self is crucified. Day by day his duties may become more taxing, his temptations stronger, his trials more severe; but he does not falter, for he receives strength equal to his need.
Messages to Young People, p. 98
In the darkest days, when appearances seem most forbidding, have faith in God. He is working out His will, doing all things well in behalf of His people. The strength of those who love and serve Him will be renewed day by day.
If we encounter difficulties, and in Christ's strength overcome them; if we meet enemies, and in Christ's strength put them to flight; if we accept responsibilities, and in Christ's strength discharge them faithfully, we are gaining a precious experience. We learn, as we could not otherwise have learned, that our Saviour is a present help in every time of need.
Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 34.
You can do nothing in your own strength, but in the strength of Jesus you can do all things. Testimonies, vol 4, p. 259
The promises of God are full and abundant, and there is no need for anyone to depend upon humanity for strength. To all that call upon Him, God is near to help and succor.
Testimonies to Ministers, p. 381
Strength and grace have been provided through Christ to be brought b y ministering angels to every believing soul.
It is obstacles that make men strong. It is ...difficulties, conflicts, rebuffs, that make men of moral sinew. Too much ease and avoiding responsibility have made weaklings and dwarfs of those who ought to be responsible men of moral power and strong spiritual muscle.
Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 495
