Bible Verse:
“He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.” – Isaiah 40:29 (WEBBE)
Reflection:
Grief is exhausting. It’s not just an emotional experience but a physical one too. Some days, the simple act of getting out of bed feels like an impossible task. When your heart is heavy with sorrow, you may feel drained of all strength and wonder how you’ll ever make it through.
Isaiah 40:29 offers hope in these moments of weariness. God doesn’t ask you to rely on your own strength to carry the weight of your grief. Instead, He promises to give power to the weak and to increase the strength of those who feel like they have none.
This strength is not about pretending everything is fine or pushing through the pain without acknowledging it. Rather, it is the quiet, sustaining power of God that meets you right where you are. It is the strength to take one small step at a time, to breathe through the hardest moments, and to trust that God is holding you even when you feel like you’re falling apart.
Lean into God’s promise today. When you feel like you have no strength left, remember that He is the One who renews and restores. He will give you exactly what you need to face each moment, one breath at a time.
Prayer:
Lord, I feel so weak and weary from the weight of my grief. I don’t have the strength to carry this on my own. Thank You for Your promise to give power to the weak. Fill me with Your strength today, Lord, and help me to take one step at a time. Remind me that I am not alone and that You are walking with me through this season of sorrow. Amen.
Course of Action for Today:
Take a moment to pause and focus on your breath. With each inhale, pray silently, “Lord, give me strength.” With each exhale, release your burden to Him by saying, “I trust in You.”
Afterward, take a small step that feels manageable today—whether it’s eating a nourishing meal, going for a short walk, or reaching out to someone who loves you. Let this step be a reminder that God is strengthening you, moment by moment.
Reflection Question:
What is one small way you can rely on God’s strength today instead of your own?
Find hope in your darkest hour.
