He Is Strong

Devotions for When You Feel Weak

Emily Jensen

Quantity

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.

What others are saying:

“Emily’s invitation to embrace our weakness because God is strong will give you hope and encouragement for life’s most challenging circumstances. Her personal stories and reflections along the way are a gift to any reader!” —Ruth Chou Simons, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced

“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

“‘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

He Is Strong invited me to humbly consider my weaknesses while leaning into Christ's strength. With engaging stories and Scripture woven throughout, this devotional will encourage the fainthearted with the hope of their strong, steadfast God.” —Hunter Beless, founder of Journeywomen and author of Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It! 

“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

“If I can tell you one thing, it’s that Emily is the friend you want with you in the trenches. She has a knack for pairing gentle insights with powerful gospel truth that leave you feeling both convicted and inspired. I don’t often think about weakness (I tend to be a ‘just push through it’ kinda gal), but I wasn't surprised to find that He Is Strong spoke to some of the most tender parts of my soul. Emily expertly weaves truth, light, and warmth through the entire devotional. You want to savor it, because it’s such a comfort, yet at the same time you want to devour it, because it’s so helpful. I recommend this book for everyone. Don’t miss it.” —Laura Wifler, author, podcaster, and cofounder of Risen Motherhood

Finding strength in God

I’ve loved Risen Motherhood for years and the wisdom they share on the podcast and in their book. I knew when I saw Emily was coming out with a book I had to get it, and it did not disappoint. The Lord has used the challenges she’s faced to give us encouragement. She even pointed out areas of weakness that I never even thought about as a classic weaknesses, and it opened my eyes to places I need to lean on the Lord for help! This will be such a great gift for friends and family this Christmas!
Mary Joyce

Very deep and encouraging

From the very first pages one can sense the depth and heart of this book. Emily speaks openly about some of her frailties and makes herself vulnerable to exalt the power of the Gospel that responds and brings hope in each area of weakness she mentions. God really is our true helper and sustainer in our inadequacies! I'm grateful for this book and recommend it to all who wish to learn how to face and see weakness through the lens of the Gospel.
