God expects you to get tired. He’s planned for you to get weary because He knows you are human. So, what are we supposed to do when we get tired? Isaiah 40:30-31 tells us:
“Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:30-31 ESV)
The scripture tells us to wait on God, and when we do, He will renew our strength. God knows we have our limits, but He doesn’t. God knows we can’t do it all, but He can. God knows we’ll get tired and weary and faint, but He won’t. When we get tired, we don’t need to push through in the flesh; we need to lean on God for His endless and everlasting strength. Everything that we are not God is, and in our fatigue, He invites us to come to Him and have all our needs provided. Don’t do it alone, Beloved. Surely you will faint if you try. Do it with God and lean on Him. Look to Him and wait on Him so you can run and not be weary, walk, and not faint.
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for strengthening me when I am tired and weary. When I am burned out and exhausted, thank you for reminding me that You are with me and I’m not alone. Help me to lean on You more and not my own strength. In Jesus’ name, amen.
