Every new day brings fresh challenges and fresh mercies. God does not ask us to face life in our own strength-He offers His strength, renewed morning by morning.
A prayer for the day for strength invites the Lord into our weakness, our decisions, and our responsibilities, so that His power carries us where our strength fails.
As you pray these Scripture-rooted prayers, receive the strength that comes from God’s presence, promises, and unfailing love.
