“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually” 1 Chronicles 16:11 (NRSV).  There are times when our strength fails, when it seems like we cannot go on.  It is in these times that we must remember that life is to be lived, not in our own strength, but with the strength that comes from the Lord.  To seek His presence is to find His strength.  To live with Him is to be emboldened by Him.  He is your Rock, Fortress and Strong Tower, and in Him there is strength.
