How Does Jesus Christ Strengthen Us?

I've been reading the special "For the Strength of Youth" magazine the church put out in March 2024. One article is subtitled, "Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. How can this become a reality for you rather than just a catchphrase?"

This really hit me. Sometimes we say things in church that I'm not sure we always understand how to apply in practice. 

How do we actually allow Jesus Christ to strengthen us? 

The article talks about keeping covenants, repenting daily, scripture study, prayer, temple service, etc. But do you and I actually connect the dots between those things and receiving real strength in our lives? When life is devastatingly difficult, do I feel stronger when I do those things? When I feel too weak to keep moving forward how does Christ help?

I would love to hear your thoughts.
