Everyone is fighting their own battles and going through hard times on a daily basis. Some days are harder than others, but it is by the strength of the Lord that we are able to get through the day and live our lives according to his plan. Here are some encouraging verses that prove the Lord will give you strength.

1. Isaiah 40:29

In the book of Isaiah, we are told: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

Even when we are at our lowest, when we are weak, he will give us the strength to keep going.

2. Psalm 119:28

"My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word."

When we are tired and at our lowest, when our mental state is deteriorating, call on the Lord. Ask him to give you strength not only when you are weak and tired physically, but also mentally.

3. Isaiah 40: 31

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

If you put your trust in the Lord and choose to walk with him, He will give you strength.

4. Mark 12:30

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

He is the one who gave us life and gives us strength, so we should return that love with every ounce of our being because we owe our lives to him.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

Whenever we are in need, we should look to him in times of trouble. God has all of the answers and we should look to Him because he is the one who can help us best. Even through hard times, when the earth feels like it is crumbling and your world is falling apart, He is still there for you, He will give you the strength to make it through whatever troubles you are facing.

6. Psalm 28:7-8

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one."

God will give us the strength we need and keep us from harmful things. He deserves all of our praise in all circumstances. He loves his people and gives them strength. We should always praise Him for giving us strength, especially in times of weakness.

7. Psalm 118:14

The Lord is our protector. He will take care of us and keep us from harm. Everything He puts us through is for a reason, to help us become better people.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
