It’s Friday... and maybe this week has made you feel tired. Weak. You’re limping across the finish line instead of sprinting through. God has some words for you today...
Read each of these verses...and as you do...allow God to start refilling your battery... one verse at a time.
“He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.”
