A 30-Day Devotional for Finding Strength in the Lord.
Whether we’re struggling to keep up with daily demands or walking through a difficult season, life has a way of exposing our human weakness. Culture tells us to look within ourselves for empowerment, but Scripture reminds us that the strength we truly need can’t be mustered up. In fact, the more we rely on our own strength, the more aware of our weaknesses we become.
Rooted in the apostle Paul’s teaching from Ephesians 6:10–18, this 30-day devotional invites readers to discover lasting strength by putting on the armor of God. Each day features a key Bible verse, devotional reflection, guided response questions, and closing prayer. As readers explore each piece of the armor, they’ll be equipped to stand firm in faith and draw near to the Lord, no matter their current circumstance.

A successful battle comes from knowing our enemy, wearing our armor, and trusting our commander. Strong in the Lord is a simple yet profound gift to believers as we fight our spiritual battle. I’m grateful for how it helped me meditate on each piece of the armor of God, pray in response, and ultimately entrust myself to my victorious Lord Jesus. I look forward to recommending it to many others!
This devotion is an excellent reset for the woman who has come to the end of herself. It’s so easy to pursue self-sufficiency, but those of us who have gone that route know we fall short. We are limited and weak, in need of a strength that’s outside ourselves. Strong in the Lord reminds us that our weakness is a gift because it leads us to true strength found in God alone. Take this book and the armor of God and receive his strength.
In this book, you’ll hear from godly women who have experienced their share of weakness and struggle and are relying on God’s strength every day as they follow Christ. You won’t find five steps to an easier Christian life or a hack to revolutionize your quiet time. But you will find thoughtful reflections to help you understand each piece of spiritual armor and how it gives us strength to live in light of the gospel. If you feel weak and weary, let this devotional point you to our God—’the one who gives power and strength to his people’ (Ps. 68:35). Melissa B. Kruger and Courtney Doctor, from the foreword
