If you are looking for Bible verses about God’s power in the King James Version, this list gives you passages that describe what God is able to do, from creation and deliverance to the strength he gives to people who feel weak. It is written for anyone who wants Scripture that speaks to the power of God in a specific moment, whether that is a hard day, a long worry, or a quiet morning with an open Bible. The verses below are shown in the KJV, and each one is followed by a short reflection on how to carry it into ordinary life.
These passages share a common thread. Each one points away from human ability and toward the God who made the world, keeps his promises, and is not limited by circumstance. Read together, they move from God’s power in creation to his power in rescue and in personal weakness.
Verses for Remembering Who Made the World
When life feels out of control, it helps to remember that the God who speaks is the same God who set the stars in place. These verses describe creation as an act of power and invite you to rest in a Creator who still holds everything together.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(KJV)
This verse opens the whole Bible with a statement of divine authority. Before you face a problem, remember that the God who began everything is the one you are trusting. Try writing the first line on a card and placing it where you will see it during a busy commute.
Jeremiah 32:17
Ah Lord GOD ! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee…
(KJV)
Jeremiah speaks this prayer while the city he loves is under siege, and he still names God’s power. When a situation seems impossible, name one thing you believe God is able to do, even if it is small. Say it aloud before you start your most difficult task of the day.
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
(KJV)
The psalmist connects God’s word with the making of the heavens, which means the same voice that formed creation can speak order into your life. When your thoughts feel scattered, pause and read this verse slowly. Let it steady your mind before you open your email or your notes.
Verses for Times of Deliverance and Rescue
Scripture often shows God’s power most clearly when his people are trapped or threatened. These passages describe rescue, protection, and the Lord acting on behalf of those who cannot save themselves. They are helpful when you need to remember that God has acted before and can act again.
Exodus 14:14
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
(KJV)
Moses tells a frightened people that the Lord will fight for them, and they only need to be still. If you are tempted to rush into a decision out of fear, practice stillness for two minutes before you act. Breathe slowly and tell God what you are afraid of.
Psalm 46:1-3
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
(KJV)
This psalm describes a world shaking apart, yet it calls God a refuge and strength. When news or circumstances feel overwhelming, return to these three verses and read them as a steady anchor. Consider memorizing them so they are ready when the noise gets loud.
Daniel 3:17
If it be so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
(KJV)
Daniel’s friends declare that God is able to deliver them, and they add that even if he does not, they will still not bow to idols. This verse teaches that God’s power is real whether or not the outcome matches your hopes. Write a short sentence of trust you can repeat when the answer has not yet come.
Isaiah 43:2
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
(KJV)
The Lord promises to be with his people in the waters and in the fire, not merely to spare them from them. When you face a difficult season, picture God walking beside you through it. Each evening, name one hardship you carried that day and thank him for his presence in it.
Verses for Strength in Weakness
Many people come to Scripture because they feel depleted. These verses reveal that God’s power is most visible in those who admit they have no strength of their own. They offer comfort for exhaustion, failure, and the feeling that you are not enough.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, 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.
(KJV)
Paul hears God say that his grace is sufficient and that power is made perfect in weakness. If you feel you have failed, let this verse reframe your weakness as a place where God can work. Speak it to yourself in the mirror before a difficult conversation.
Isaiah 40:29
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
(KJV)
The prophet says God gives power to the faint and increases strength to those who have none. When your energy is gone, ask God for what you cannot produce on your own. Then take one small, reasonable step rather than trying to do everything at once.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
(KJV)
Paul writes that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him, a statement made from prison and hardship. Use this verse for a specific task you have been avoiding, and remember that the strength being described comes from Christ rather than from your own willpower.
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us…
(KJV)
This verse describes a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. When your prayers feel small, let this verse widen them. Write down one request you have been hesitant to bring to God and offer it to him today.
Zechariah 4:6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
(KJV)
The message to Zerubbabel is that the work will be done not by might or by power but by the Spirit of the Lord. If you are trying to achieve something through sheer effort, let this verse slow you down. Ask what it would look like to depend on God’s Spirit for the next project.
Verses for Trusting God With the Future
Some of the most reassuring passages about God’s power look ahead. They describe a God who keeps his promises across generations and who holds the future in his hands. These verses help you loosen your grip on what you cannot control.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
(KJV)
Paul writes that God works all things together for good for those who love him. This verse does not say every event is good, but that God is able to weave even painful moments into a larger purpose. When you feel anxious about an outcome, speak this verse as a statement of trust.
Ephesians 1:19
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power…
(KJV)
Paul describes the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward those who believe, a power he compares to the resurrection of Christ. Let this verse remind you that the same power that raised Jesus is available to you. Consider reading it aloud before you pray for a loved one.
Jude 1:24
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy…
(KJV)
Jude praises the God who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before his glory. This verse is a useful close to the day, because it places your keeping in God’s hands rather than your own. Read it before you sleep and release the day to him.
How to Use These Verses
Choose two or three verses from this list that speak most directly to what you are facing right now. Write them on an index card or in the notes app on your phone, and keep them in a place you check often, such as beside your bed, on your bathroom mirror, or on your lock screen. Repetition helps the words sink in when you are tired or distracted.
Read a verse slowly before you begin prayer, and then ask God to show you one way it applies to your day. You can also pray the verse back to him in your own words, such as “Lord, you are able, so I bring you this need.” Over time, you may find that these passages become a language you return to when you do not know what else to say.
A Short Prayer for God’s Power
Lord, you made the heavens and the earth by your word, and nothing in my life is too hard for you. I confess that I often trust my own strength more than yours, and I am tired of carrying what only you can hold. Help me remember your power when I feel weak, and let your grace be enough for each step I take today. Give me the faith to rest in what you are able to do rather than what I can control. Amen.
