I believe these verses.

I am encouraged by them.

My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. —Eph. 6:10.

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. —I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. —The gospel of Christ . . . is the power of God unto salvation.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. —I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. —We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. —Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.

II Cor. 12:9,10. -Psa. 71:16. -Rom. 1:16. Phi. 4:13. -Col. 1:29. -II Cor. 4:7. Neh. 8:10. -Col. 1:11

Like I said, I believe those verses and am encouraged by them.

But how to live by them…

This may sound like an April Fool’s Day joke.

But this is the Sovereign Creator — He who is the way, the truth, and the life — being absolutely truthful…

The fruit of the Spirit is joy. —Gal. 5:22.

Joy in the Holy Ghost. —Unspeakable and full of glory.

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; . . . exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. —We glory in tribulations.

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; . . . for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame. —These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. —As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. —The joy of the Lord is your strength.

In thy presence is fulness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. —For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
