Almost every one of these Bible verses about strength says the same surprising thing: the strength on offer is given rather than summoned. Isaiah 40 promises it to the exhausted, Paul locates it in weakness, and the Psalms repeatedly call God himself the strength of the person praying. That is a different idea from self reliance, and the verses were picked to make it clear. Isaiah, the Psalms, and the letters of Paul carry most of these scriptures for strength, with Joshua and Nehemiah supplying the better known charges to be strong.
