There’s an encouragement throughput the Bible that comes God, friends and church leaders. It’s simply for us to stand strong in our faith when things are hard. Sometimes our faith is what takes a hit when things aren’t going the way we think they should. Instead of letting it falter or questioning it, we should bolster it and stand strong on it. Look for God’s promises in Scripture and stand on them. Read stories where God did the impossible so you can be encouraged. Don’t let hard times knock you down. When they come in like a flood, the Lord will lift up a standard against them so you can stand strong.
Here are Bible verses on standing strong in the faith:
1. Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 AMP
2. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
Ephesians 6:13 NLT
3. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
1 Peter 5:9 NLT
4. Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
I Corinthians 16:13 NKJV
5. Jonathan went to find David and encouraged him to stay strong in his faith in God.
1 Samuel 23:16 NLT
