Introduction
As we rebuild our lives after stroke, there are days when courage feels out of reach. The fears are real—the fear of falling, of forgetting, of not being who we once were. But God doesn’t ask us to be fearless in our own strength. In Deuteronomy 31:6, He promises to walk this road with us—and never leave. Our courage comes from knowing we’re never alone.
Bible Verse – Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the Lord your God goes with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
How This Bible Verse Speaks to Us
This verse reminds us that strength isn’t about pretending we aren’t scared—it’s about trusting that God is beside us. Whether we’re facing a new therapy, a difficult diagnosis, or another setback, we are not walking into it alone. He goes before us, beside us, and behind us. His presence gives us courage, and His faithfulness gives us peace. We may tremble, but He never will—and that’s enough to help us stand strong.
How Deuteronomy 31:6 Uplifts Us as Stroke Survivors
- Encourages us to be strong in faith, even when our bodies feel weak
- Reassures us that God never abandons us, even on the hardest days
- Helps us face new challenges with spiritual courage and trust
- Inspires us to keep going, knowing God walks with us
- Comforts us when we feel afraid or uncertain about the future
Strengthens our hope that we are not forgotten or left behind
Final Encouragement
Let’s repeat this verse every time fear tries to stop us. Let’s speak it aloud when we face something new or overwhelming. God’s presence is our strength, and His Word is our courage. He will never leave us. He will never forsake us. And with Him by our side, we can be strong and courageous—even in the face of disability, change, or uncertainty. Because with Him, we can do all things. Without Him, we are nothing—but with Him, we are never alone.
