Finding Strength | Faith Centered Inspiration

Backstory:
This writing was inspired by reflecting on how easy it can be for any of us to feel discouraged by our mistakes, weaknesses, and the times we fall short. In those moments, it can seem like getting back up is too hard or that we’ve fallen too far to be helped. As I thought about those feelings, I was reminded of the Savior’s constant love and His power to lift, heal, and strengthen us—no matter where we are or how many times we’ve fallen.

The Hands That Lift Me Again

If you have ever felt alone
Like you are in the darkness on your own.
If you feel like you’ve hit a wall,
And you’re stumbling through a heavy fall.

If you ever feel like you have fallen
Too many times to get back up again.
If your many shortcomings weigh you down,
And in the dark you sit and frown.

Just remember that there is One named Jesus
Who will help you overcome your every weakness.
He has been in the darkness Himself before
And He will help you when you feel like you can’t stand anymore.

He already suffered for your every sin
And He knows what it feels like to be in your skin.
Just know that Jesus will help you get up
When you have fallen, He will fill your empty cup.

You are never out of the reach of your Savior’s gentle touch,
For He loves you and cares about you so much.
Even if you were the only person on earth
He would have suffered so that you could feel your divine worth.

The Takeaway: We all have moments when we feel broken, weary, or unsure if we can keep trying. But no one is ever beyond the reach of Jesus Christ. He understands perfectly, and His hands are always extended to lift us, heal us, and help us begin again.

Thank you for subscribing-may these words bring a quiet moment of peace and reflection to your day.

Backstory:
A Roman centurion — an outsider to the covenant people — approached Jesus with a plea for someone he loved dearly. He understood authority. He knew that when a command was spoken, it was done. So he asked for no touch, no visit, no visible proof. “Speak the word only,” he said, believing Christ’s power was not limited by distance. And Jesus marveled at him. Not because he had perfect circumstances. Not because he was strong. But because he believed.

Strength Spoken From Afar

We all have trials that break open our soul,
Leaving us wondering if we will ever be whole.
There are days when we struggle to take one more step,
Weary from burdens and the tears we have kept.

Some days are easier to keep moving on
Hiding the ache until the shadows are gone.
We wonder if others could see through the mask,
Would they reach out to help with the weight of our task?

The Savior who healed in the pages of old,
Still offers us peace that has never grown cold.
Though He may not be here for our eyes to perceive,
He dwells in the hearts of all those who believe.

We only need reach out our hands to His light,
To find His compassion in the depth of our night.
Through every dark valley and the storms that we face,
He lifts up our heads with the strength of His grace.

So if there are days when you’re tempted to doubt,
When the pain is so heavy you just want to shout—
Remember the One who has loved you so much,
Is healing your heart with His heavenly touch.

The Takeaway: Some days our bodies are weak. Some days our hearts are unsure. Some days we wonder if we can keep going one more hour. But the same Savior who healed from afar still speaks strength into weary souls. He does not need to stand physically in the room to be present. He does not need to remove the struggle to sustain us through it. When we feel we cannot take another step, perhaps our prayer can simply be: “Lord, speak the word only.” And trust that He will.
