Strength for the Weary!

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. – Isaiah 40:29

Do you feel tired, worn out, or maybe even a little discouraged?  Has life seemingly gotten the best of you lately and you just wish you could sleep for three days straight?  Do you ever look around and think to yourself, “When will I get a break?”

Here are four things that I would encourage you to remember:

  1. God knows your current condition
  2. God cares deeply that your are hurting, worn out, and tired
  3. God wants to help
  4. God has the power and the ability to help!

Carve out just 5 minutes to talk with God today.  Tell him how you feel, how you hurt, what your worried about.  Ask him to give you the strength you need to make it through today.  Then tonight, don’t turn on the tv or check your facebook, grab your Bible.  Turn to Psalm 1 and slowly go through each phrase.  Pray it back to God and ask him to use it to give you the insights, the wisdom, and the strength to overcome your current condition!
