Philippians 4:13 (KJV), Nehemiah 8:10 (KJV), and Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) are short enough to text. Psalm 18:1 (KJV) is shorter: “I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV), Isaiah 40:29 (KJV), and Psalm 73:26 (KJV) speak to feeling weak. If distress lasts, talk with a trusted adult, pastor, or counselor.
