Courage

Samson and Real Strength

"O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray."
Judges 16:28

Reflection

Samson had strength to spare and still had to ask. Real strength always comes from outside ourselves.

Prayer

God, my strength comes from You. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Where did Samson's strength come from?
  2. Why did he still have to ask God?
  3. Where does real strength come from?

5-minute activity

Make a muscle-flex poster: draw a strong arm and write "strength comes from God" across it. Then each person names something they need strength for. Read Judges 16:28-30.
