Daily Question, May 15

From where might I draw strength?

  • Lily Fire

    My strength comes when I can sit and meditate in nature without noise pollution or the demands of technology. It is in nature, listening and watching the clouds, the birds, the trees and grasses that connect me to God who is in everything we are given.

  • Tahsin Tabassum

    where I was strength-less

  • Sue P

    Strength ultimately comes from within, but it got there through the love of others

  • Jennifer O.

    From God, the sun, water, from friends from meditating on good things; from meditation, yoga and stretching and being in tune with my body and keeping it flexible and hydrated. Meeting my mental , physical , social spiritual and emotional needs as often and as possible as I can.

  • Malag

    From the talents I have to work with. They were born to me but I can choose to use them or not. I choose in particular to lean on persistence. It’s a dogged talent and makes remarkable change happen to me over the long term (it’s not for quick results).

  • Annie

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I draw my strength from God. He is my rock and my refuge. Spending time each day reading scripture, and talking to my Lord God Jesus ..without Him I can do nothing. I draw strength from all the wonderful things He created….I especially love the ocean, the flowers, trees and so much more. He is present in all these things He created for us. God is love!

    Having had my assets and as liquidated already by them, I can’t draw strength; for there’s nothing to keep it in my body, away from the ‘suck’- if I drew it anyway 🙂 reality

    I draw strength from the lake and from the ocean. The ripples and the waves coming into shore engender a sense of peace and calmness that is not present in my everyday life. I also draw strength from poetry. Poetry fills me up with wisdom, acceptance, and a sense of community that is healing for me during the stressful times in my life. Last but not least I draw healing from my higher power which is the most powerful source of all. I start my day out with this phrase: " This is the day the Lord...

    I draw strength from laughing. It has been said that it is the best medicine, and I try to experience its health-giving benefits every day. If I don’t have anyone to laugh with, I try to find something online. I just discovered a gentle British lady called Pam Ayres who finds humour in the commonplace. (I know now that she’s been around for decades, but she is new to me.) Laughter, and its close relative levity, create buoyancy and help me to feel more able to face all sorts of ...

    I draw strength from laughing.

    It has been said that it is the best medicine, and I try to experience its health-giving benefits every day. If I don’t have anyone to laugh with, I try to find something online. I just discovered a gentle British lady called Pam Ayres who finds humour in the commonplace. (I know now that she’s been around for decades, but she is new to me.)

    Laughter, and its close relative levity, create buoyancy and
    help me to feel more able to face all sorts of challenges.

    Wishing you giggles, chuckles and guffaws today and everyday!

    I draw my strength from God. I draw wisdom from all that He has provided for us on this Earth. I draw strength from knowing that I am a wonderful creation who is capable of great things and learning about the seen and unseen that can expand my knowledge and spiritual self.

  • Ed Schulte

    From the First of Seven Promises which I make to my Self many times a day.

    “I promise to my Self to serve at all times and all places Absolute Being-ness to whom I wholeheartedly belong.”

    Any “”drawn strength”which I gain from this promise is entirely dependent on my present-day- personality’s senserity / honestly accepting what IS given / and love for the Logos and Holy Spirit, ( aka Divine Grace of the Absolute Being-ness )

  • slawrence

    I draw strength from God, from my fellow seekers, from my family, and even from my late daughter since she was a very practical person who would expect me to remain the parent that made her proud of being my daughter.

  • pkr

    I draw strength from my meditation practice. ?
    From Mother Nature and all the big beautiful trees I am surrounded by, especially the Redwoods, so majestic and magical.

  • From that very place in my heart where I find calm and peace, where I can affirm: “I feel well”. And from many examples, people I know, stories and musics I listen to and I like, landscapes that I see and carry deeply in my heart.

  • Linda

    From my husband, who endures more pain than a human being should. He is quiet, kind and grateful in his daily life which soothes me, too.

  • Mica

    Ive been drawing strength from Spirit Rock in this new ‘zoom’ era. It’s outside my wussy driving range, but I can go to their meditations and learn about their programs now that everything is online.

  • Chester

    Cultivating physical strength provides a useful model – by doing, by breaking down, by resting and building up; and doing it again. The From where is everywhere.

  • Rachel

    From the hard workers of hope all around me who model in their daily acts that living into grace is a choice. A choice available to me each and every day.

  • Gerry

    After a lengthy journal conversation with myself on this subject, I draw strength from not knowing, from discomfort. I asked myself the question, ” Is gratitude merely a salve for discomfort?” And the answer came to me: “Of course, it is.” It soothes us in our place of not-knowing, as we ready ourselves for the next step in our evolution. Accepting discomfort, being grateful for it, and knowing it is a motivator towards something better gives me strength.

    My strength comes from inner strength, nature, and this website.
