Strength for the Weary

Scripture Reading

Isaiah 40:29-31

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Reflection
Isaiah does not promise that we will never grow tired — he acknowledges that even the young stumble. The promise is not immunity from weariness but renewal for those who hope in God. Soaring like an eagle is spectacular, but sometimes faithfulness looks like simply walking without fainting. On difficult days when soaring is beyond us, this quieter promise sustains: we will walk, and we will not faint.
Prayer for Today
Father Lord God, the mightiest of the above and the divine creator of all. We firstly want to thank you for the past days we've livedhow you kept us far from harm's way and sheltered our family. We also want to thank you for uplifting us when we were in doubt of your power and we hope you'll continue to do so. Lord, like every day, we ask you to renew our faiths in you and never let us waver from our path to Your Kingdom. We will not, by Your grace, fall to any temptation and we'll stand valiantly as Your sons and daughters in the face of sin. We thank you for the opportunity to have this prayer this morning/night and we exalt your name.


Amen.

Amen.
