Prayer for Strength Through Trials and Temptations

Trials are going to come our way in the Christian life because we are a people set apart for God and His kingdom, and the darkness despises our faith, tempting us to ignore what we know. When trials and temptations come, we can have confidence that we can get through them, as 1 Corinthians promises,

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13, ESV

Dear God, your word promises I will not be tempted beyond what I can manage, but my fear is distracting and my faith is weak. God, please grant me the strength to overcome this trial and ignore these temptations. Show me the way of escape through your strength and not my own. Amen.

Dear Jesus, you know what it's like to be tempted and yet you did not give in. Fill me with your Spirit to face trials and temptations without accepting defeat. In Jesus' name, amen.

Prayer For Strength and Endurance

One of the best Christian prayers for Strength is directly from the book of Isaiah. It’s both a reminder of where all true strength comes from and a promise of what’s in store for those who rely on God’s strength and not their own.

...The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall 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 40:28-31, ESV

Heavenly Father, I know my own strength will ultimately fail me. My own willpower will dissolve and my desire to endure will collapse. I humbly ask for your strength and for your power to renew me. To increase my strength and endure whatever comes my way. Help me rely on you and not on my own abilities. Amen.

Prayer For Strength and Comfort

Grief, sadness, and loss can grip our hearts and drag us to despair. Pray for the strength to continue on in the face of these challenges and for comfort from the Chief Comforter.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…

Psalm 46:1-2a, ESV

Father God, I need you. My heart is broken and I don't know how to move forward through this challenge. You are my only source of strength. Please send your Holy Spirit to comfort me and my loved ones. Amen.

God, give me strength in this tribulation. I know you’re at work, help me to be strong and courageous by your Divine Power. May I be a light for you, O Lord. May you shine through me, though I am weak. Amen.

A Prayer For Strength and Wisdom

God isn’t in the business of leaving us to our own devices. He has provided both the way and means to face and overcome any situation. As John 14:26 says,

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

ESV

The popular Serenity Prayer is helpful when seeking God’s wisdom:
