(He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power-Isaiah 40:29)
Sometimes I feel powerless. Living life in this world can pull me down. I know the joy of the Lord is my strength and it is important to keep my eyes on Him, but I am often distracted.
I do not feel that I am alone in my struggles. I know that there are many folks who fight against the spiritual forces of this world.
God’s word tells me that He gives strength to the weary. I know I can continually draw near to God and He will lift me up. I experience His strength when I turn to Him and cast my cares and anxiety on Him.
As soon as I turn all my focus on Him, my heaviness lifts and my joy and strength return because I am no longer trying to push through the struggles alone. I am continually learning to be dependent on Him.
