Charles Spurgeon Quotes About Weakness

• Show the world that your God is worth ten thousand worlds to you. Show rich men how rich you are in your poverty when the Lord God is your helper. Show the strong man how strong you are in your weakness when underneath you are the everlasting arms.

  Charles Spurgeon

  Strong, Men, Weakness

  Charles Spurgeon (2001). “Morning & Evening”, Whitaker House

• No stars gleam as brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky. No water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand. And no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known God’s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.

  Charles Spurgeon

  Sweet, Stars, Spring

• God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?

  Charles Spurgeon

  Yield, Hands, Weakness

• Poor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.

  Charles Spurgeon

  Depression, Joy, Excess

  Charles H. Spurgeon (2010). “Lectures to My Students”, p.192, Zondervan

• Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer can do.

  Charles Spurgeon

  Prayer, Giving, Weakness

  C. H. Spurgeon (2006). “Morning by Morning”, p.285, Hendrickson Publishers
