Chapters
If you feel tired today, this is for you. If you feel a little run down by life, a little overextended, or even emotionally drained, I want to encourage you with a few promises that are spoken in Scripture. When we connect to the Source, we find our strength. So find a quiet space in your heart and let these truths sink in. I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion. Forever in peace I will lie down and sleep for you alone. Lord, make me dwell in safety. Yes, my soul, find rest in God. My hope comes from him. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in. Have you not seen? Have you not heard the Lord, your God, Everlasting God, Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary in his understanding no man can fathom. 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 mount up on wings like eagles. They will run and not be weary. They will walk and not faint. May you go in the strength of the Lord today.
