How does God strengthen us according to His will?

Answered in 1 source

God strengthens us according to His will through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, guiding us in truth and enabling us to practice our faith.

God's strengthening work in our lives is deeply connected to His sovereign will and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As believers, we receive ongoing strength not only during trials but also in our daily walk with Christ. Paul’s prayer for the Colossians centers on the need for divine strength to live out the Christian life, which is achievable as we grow in knowledge and understanding of God's truth. This divine empowerment is constantly at work in us, leading us to bear spiritual fruit and exhibit characteristics such as patience and joy, even during hardships. His will is being accomplished in our growth and sanctification, as we remain steadfast in faith and depend entirely on His grace.
