When You Feel Defeated, Return To God (He Will Always Strengthen You)

Karin Hadadan is the best-selling author of Beauty in the Stillness, which has been praised for helping readers “unravel the God self that is truly within you,” guiding them to find deeper meaning in life. Here, she reminds us how our faith in Christ strengthens us beyond measure.

We were born into this Universe as Divine beings. With God dwelling within us, there exists an unlimited potential to connect with His strength.

Through spiritual connection, we transcend our human limitations and access boundless power. Rather than relying on ourselves alone, we tap into a higher source, enabling us to climb any mountain and conquer any challenge. Divine strength manifests differently than worldly strength—through resilience, gentleness, and humility—emerging most powerfully in moments of perceived weakness.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:13

As you face defeat, remember that “all things” refers not just to your current desires, but to your divinely aligned purpose. Christ continuously grants you the strength to receive everything He has prepared for you.

Acknowledging the inner strength granted through Christ is a powerful reminder that resilience is not solely a personal achievement but a reflection of divine empowerment. This strength often surpasses human logic, enabling a person to face challenges with courage and perseverance.

Each difficulty encountered becomes an opportunity to grow in resilience and deepen self-trust, revealing the transformative nature of faith in everyday life. By allowing this divine power to flow through daily actions, one becomes a living example of the truth that strength is found not in personal effort alone, but in the sustaining presence of Christ, who makes all things possible.
