Have you ever needed supernatural strength to face a situation head-on, but not known what to pray? God is waiting and wants to offer us strength in time of need. Do not be afraid to pray and ask God for His strength to fall upon you! When you are weak, weary or unready to stand, and unsure of what to ask, pray along with these words!

A Prayer for Strength

Lord, I’m weary. My energy is sagging, and my motivation is lagging. And I am so in need of you. I need your strength and your fresh touch to get back on track again. Your Word says the joy of the Lord is my strength. If that's true, then I need your joy to replace all the bone-tired parts of my mind, body, and soul.

The pressures of life sometimes push me into a corner, rendering me helpless to move forward. A hundred voices call my name, and I feel paralyzed at times to answer, not knowing where to turn. Lord, help me not to quit, to keep running the race faithfully, and to find strength in that safe, secret place of yours, under the shadow of the Almighty.

I need your strength to say no when I'm tempted to surrender to harmful things, or when selfishness clings to my clothes and won't let go. I need your strength to say yes, when cowardice and fear nudge me to deny the convictions of my heart. I need your strength to reach out in love to those both close to me and all around me. When don't I need your strength, God?

You are my rock, and I run to you today, believing that you will lift up my heavy arms, that you will fuel me for the tasks you've given me, and that your joy will completely consume the weakness of my life and make me strong again. I don't want to stay grounded, crippled by limitations and failed attempts. I'm tired of feeble efforts. Lord, I want to mount up with wings an eagle and not just fly. I want to soar.

Renew my strength, Lord. Fill me with your supernatural power to overcome each obstacle in my path. With my eyes on you, Lord, with you walking beside me, working through me, I can make it. Thank you, Lord!

In Jesus's name, Amen

A Prayer for Strength and Encouragement

Lord, David, I need your encouragement in a time of trial and anguish. Thank you that you are always on the throne, always my God, ready to save. Thank you for being the same God to me that you were to David.

Thank you for always being near and always rescuing me from my fears and hurts. Lord, help me remember that daybreak might be just ahead, that this trial will not last forever.

Fill me with hope that daybreak is coming and that your love will always prevail! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
~ A Good Thing Devotional

A Prayer for Strength to Endure

Lord, I am weary and don’t know when this “race” will end in my life. I feel I’ve been running forever, trying to outrun this trial. Help me to stop trying to outrun my pain but rather run with endurance the race you have set before me. I know that because of you I am ultimately a victor over the trials in my life.

I know that nothing in this world can separate me from your steadfast love. Please give me a measure of your love today; give me the strength to endure this trial.

Thank you for your love for me that never ends! And thank you for the crown of joy that awaits me forever in your Kingdom!

How to Pray

Before we take a look at the various types of strength and some examples of prayers for strength you may choose to use, we have to discuss the nature of prayer itself.

Many people wonder if there is a right and wrong way to pray.

The power of prayer isn’t something many people have a great understanding of and so when it comes time for praying for strength and wisdom or protection and guidance, people feel a bit their depth.

The truth is that there isn’t a wrong way to pray. You can pray in your head or you can pray out loud. You could hold your hands together or pray while you meditate. Many people choose to pray in a religious building while others pray before they go to sleep.

The important part of any prayer is that it comes from deep within yourself. Don’t pray for something just because your friend does, pray because there is a matter that you wish to take further or because you require guidance or even protection.

All you have to do is pray from your soul and the rest is just bells and whistles.

What is Strength?

Before we actually cover a prayer for strength, we have to establish what strength actually means. If someone tells you they need strength, what would you imagine they are referring to? Would you think they needed physical strength or would you assume they meant emotional strength or even spiritual strength?

What if your friend was ill or had an injury then you might assume that what they really needed was healing and that perhaps the strength they were referring to is the strength to recover.

It’s also possible that by strength your friend could be referring to the need for will power. So to cut a long story short, prayers for healing and strength could essentially mean the same thing as could a prayer for strength and guidance.

Let’s take a look at a few examples of some prayers and when you may use them.

Prayers for Strength – Physical Healing process

The first example of prayers for strength we will take a look at will be one for physical strength that can also be used to encourage healing and recovery from a physical injury such as a broken bone or illness.

Keep in mind that you can use these prayers for strength (either as they come or as inspiration) or you can edit them to fit your own situation. Just have faith in your own ability.

This prayer would be to the Archangel Raphael as his name means “healing power of God”.

“Raphael, Archangel of Heaven and healing power of God, I reach out to you now in my time of need. My body is failing me and I lack the strength to pick myself up bed in order to return to work so that I may provide for my family. I ask for your healing energy and light in my time of need so that I can not only help myself but also others. I am grateful for your attention. Amen!”

Prayer for Emotional Strength/Will Power

As we already discussed: prayers for strength aren’t limited to physical strength. Sometimes our emotions get the better of us (or alternatively, the emotions of others do) and other times we simply lack the will power to carry out whatever task we should be doing.

When you feel physically strong but emotionally weak, you should turn to the Archangel Michael for help. His name translates as “He who is God” and he is arguably the most powerful of the Archangels. He can facilitate any emotional/mental growth.

This prayer may apply to someone whose mental health has taken a toll.

“Mighty Archangel Michael, I call out to you in the hopes that you are listening and can provide me with the aid that I so desperately seek.

I have lost my way in this world and have lost all hope of returning to the life I once knew. My own thoughts betray me and I simply lack the strength to continue.

I ask that you shine your healing light upon me in the hopes that I can pick myself up. Amen!”

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

Remember that a prayer for strength and guidance can be the same thing, particularly if you’re referring to spirituality. There is a certain power in prayer and when we lose our way and drift off our spiritual path, we tend to search for guidance and for the spiritual strength to accept that we have wandered.

Prayers for strength are sometimes necessary to demonstrate to our angels that we’re aware that our spirituality has taken a hit or has even left us entirely. When we doubt our beliefs, we tend to end up in the same situation.

So here is an example of a prayer to the Archangel Zadkiel (Righteousness of God) who is the angel to turn to in these matters.

“Dear Zadiel, Mercy of God, I have strayed from my spiritual path and no matter what I try, my path remains reach to me. I feel I’m lost in a thick, dense forest with no light to guide me and no path in sight. I ask that you send me a sign in order to show me the way back to my path so I can begin my spiritual journey once more.”
