Quick Answer
Isaiah 40:31 speaks to renewed strength, Psalm 46:1 names God as present help, and 2 Corinthians 12:9 speaks to grace when you feel weak. Strength in these passages is received, not performed.
Strength for today rather than every future day
Some situations require endurance, others require courage, rest, or the humility to ask for help. Begin with what today actually asks of you.
When weakness does not disappear
2 Corinthians 12:9 does not treat weakness as failure. It points to God's grace meeting a limit that effort alone cannot remove.
