He Is Strong: Devotions For When You Feel Weak
Book Description:
We all feel weak sometimes. He Is Strong encourages you to rest in God’s help and strength for every one of your inadequacies.
Join Emily A. Jensen, bestselling coauthor of Risen Motherhood, on a devotional journey to find God’s strength amid your weakness. Whether you think of yourself as overwhelmed, overlooked, or just not very good at life (or perhaps you avoid facing your own shortcomings), Emily shares relatable stories about her own feelings of weakness and points you to the gospel for wisdom, hope, and comfort. As the familiar hymn says, “They are weak, but he is strong.”
Let these Scripture-filled reflections remind you that Jesus loves you, even in your weakness. You can rely on the strength of God in any challenge you face.

“When we feel weak and insufficient, it’s tempting to try to overcome our lack of power by working harder. Or perhaps we give up altogether and claim the impossibility of moving forward in our weaknesses. Thankfully, Emily Jensen’s new devotional book, He Is Strong, gives us a better option. With refreshing honesty and biblical wisdom, Emily turns our eyes away from ourselves and onto Jesus—the One who is able to give us strength when we are weary and courage when we are fearful.”
--Melissa Kruger, author and director of women’s initiatives for The Gospel Coalition
“To believe that even in our deepest inability—in our abject weakness—God still loves us and is in fact for us is, in my estimation, the greatest desire of the human heart. In He Is Strong, Emily Jensen rehearses the strong grace of Christ available for the weakest of believers like you and me. Full of refreshing transparency and clear biblical application, these devotions will strengthen your soul and stir your affections for Jesus.”
--Jared C. Wilson, pastor, professor, and author of Love Me Anyway
“‘I am weak, but He is strong.’ More times than I can count over the years, I have awakened with that refrain running through my mind. To this day, whenever I feel overwhelmed with a sense of my weakness and inadequacy, that sweet chorus I learned as a child infuses my heart with fortitude and grace. The truth of His unassailable strength and love will do the same for you, as Emily so beautifully reminds us in this book.”
--Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author and founder of Revive Our Hearts
“We are small. We are finite. We are weak. There is no shame—and in fact there is great benefit—in simply admitting what is so demonstrably true. For it is when we admit our weakness that we can turn to God for his strength. That is the theme of this lovely series of reflections, which will bless all who are enduring a period of difficulty, a season of sorrow, or a time of trial. You will learn that you have a powerful Father whose heart is inclined toward you and whose hand is stretched out to bless and strengthen you.”
--Tim Challies, author of Seasons of Sorrow
