Jesus, I Need Your Strength

Today we bring our weakness to Jesus and listen for the strength His Word gives to endure, serve, and pray with trust. This devotional path moves through Matthew 10, Psalm 18, John 17, Psalm 27, and John 14, then continues through prayers and teachings that steady the heart in Christ. It is shaped for listeners who need courage in pressure, comfort in weariness, and renewed confidence to follow the Lord. On July 8, Christians remember Saints Aquila and Priscilla, first-century coworkers of Paul who welcomed believers into their home and shared the Word with courage. Their steadfast witness echoes the cry, “Jesus, I Need Your Strength,” pointing to the grace Christ gives for faithful service and endurance. This original devotional Scripture journey was prepared for this channel with chapter notes, sound design, and visual direction to support prayerful listening. For study and context: Sts.
