When volunteers, ministry teams, or church staff begin feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, God’s Word helps re-center our hearts on His strength instead of our own.
Many people in our congregations feel the same way — tired, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward. Providing Scripture-based resources can be a meaningful way to support them.
The Lord Is My Strength Bible Verses Reading Plan brings together passages that highlight God’s mighty power and His constant presence with His people. These Scriptures gently remind us — and those we serve — that strength comes from the Lord, not from human effort.
Psalm 27:1 beautifully declares, “The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?” Verses like this offer tremendous comfort to anyone facing a difficult season.
This printable Bible reading plan is an excellent tool for small groups, Bible studies, care ministries, or as a resource to offer someone who needs encouragement. It can also be used personally by anyone in ministry who needs a moment to pause and be refreshed in God’s presence.
What the Bible Says About God Being Our Strength
Throughout Scripture, God consistently strengthens His people — guiding them in weakness, comforting them in hardship, and offering peace that the world cannot provide.
These verses remind us to place our confidence not in our own abilities, but in the God who upholds us, equips us, and walks with us through every challenge.
This month-long reading plan is filled with Lord is my strength Bible verses that can encourage small groups, support individuals going through trials, or refresh the hearts of busy ministry teams.

How Ministry Leaders Can Use This Reading Plan
Here are helpful ways your church team can use the “Lord Is My Strength” reading plan to bless others — and to encourage your own hearts as well.

Read one passage each day or week and talk together about where you’ve seen God giving strength or comfort. It works well for short devotionals at the start of meetings, rehearsals, or volunteer gatherings.
2. Share it with someone who needs encouragement
Small group leaders, care team members, pastors, and volunteers can offer this reading plan to individuals who are grieving, overwhelmed, or feeling anxious.
3. Pray the Scriptures as a team
Use the verses as a guide for opening prayer before services, events, or ministry meetings. Turning these Scriptures into prayer helps shift focus toward God’s power and presence.
4. Provide it as a resource for your congregation
Print copies to set out at welcome centers, counseling rooms, or prayer stations. People often need something simple, practical, and biblically grounded to take home.

Bible Study and Reflection Questions
Use these questions for group discussion, personal reflection, or one-on-one encouragement conversations:
- Verses such as John 14:27 and Philippians 4:6–7 speak about peace that comes from God, even in hardship. When you face difficult circumstances, what steps can you take to invite God’s peace into your heart?
- Passages like Psalm 46:1 and Nahum 1:7 describe God as a refuge and stronghold. What does it practically look like to “take refuge” in God during times of stress, grief, or exhaustion?
- 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 says God’s power is made perfect in weakness. Can you think of a time when God used your weakness to display His strength? How did that experience shape your faith?
- What area in your life do you need comfort and strength for the most? Write a short prayer asking Him to help you surrender this area to Him today.
Whether your church members are weary, hurting, or simply in need of reassurance, these the Lord is my strength Bible verses offer a powerful reminder that God is near — and He is enough.
