Strength is important – without strength we cannot live. Sometimes through the difficult experiences of life, we feel that we have no strength. In such times we need to do two things. Firstly, we need to pray to the Lord to give us strength. Secondly, we need to gather up the strength that we do have, we may feel that we have no strength, but actually we do have some.
