Isaiah 40:29 · KJV

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."

King James Version

Passage Context

²⁷Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

²⁸Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁹He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

³⁰Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

³¹But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHope

Even the most positive and happy individuals get broken and fatigued at times in their lives. It's not that difficult to trust in Jesus and follow Him while we're soaring like eagles or racing without tiring on our path to God. It might be difficult to maintain our faith while we are attempting to keep placing one foot in front of the other without passing out. When a person is absolutely helpless, weak, and broken, it is frequently the Lord who is the most real, strong, and present.

Prayer

I'm grateful to God for sustaining me through the Evil One's attacks and when I was becoming weary of life's difficulties. Please grant the folks I care about—the courage to push through their exhaustion and weakness. To aid them and rescue them, kindly let them know that you are coming as their Great Deliverer. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

God is always there. He can do anything He wants. He has an infinite amount of strength. He never gets tired of blessing people and giving them His grace. Most importantly, He wants to show us every day how powerful and kind He is.

Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, You are kind and merciful. Thank You for giving me strength when I was tired, guidance when I was confused, and hope when I was feeling hopeless. Please give me the strength to do what You want me to do and trust in Your presence through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
