•A Prayer for Strength When Weary•By Anthony Valente👉 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 soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.(Isaiah 40:29-31)Have you ever needed supernatural strength to face a situation head-on, but not known what to pray? God is waiting and wants to offer us strength in time of need. God is able to give strength to us when all our strength runs out. Even the strongest people get tired. But no matter how weak you are, anyone who “waits” or trusts in the Lord will find that He gives them strength that they do not have. Instead of quitting or crashing out, God gives strength that enables them to continue to doing His will. Sometimes it is flying like an eagle, sometimes running, and sometimes walking, but they are always able to keep doing what is right because of the strength He supplies. They key is to “wait” or trust in the Lord even when you think you can’t go another step. He gives you strength!So do not be afraid to pray and ask God for His strength to fall upon you! When you are weak, weary or unready to stand, and unsure of what to ask, pray along with these words! 🙏 Dear Lord Jesus,I’m weary. My energy is sagging, and my motivation is lagging. And I am so in need of You. I need Your strength and Your fresh touch to get back on track again. Your Word says the joy of the Lord is my strength. If that's true, then I need Your joy to replace all the bone-tired parts of my mind, body, and soul. The pressures of life sometimes push me into a corner, rendering me helpless to move forward. A hundred voices call my name, and I feel paralyzed at times to answer, not knowing where to turn. Lord, help me not to quit, to keep running the race faithfully, and to find strength in that safe, secret place of Yours, under the shadow of the Almighty. I need Your strength to say no when I'm tempted to surrender to harmful things, or when selfishness clings to my clothes and won't let go. I need Your strength to say yes, when cowardice and fear nudge me to deny the convictions of my heart. I need Your strength to reach out in love to those both close to me and all around me. When don't I need Your strength, God? You are my rock, and I run to You today, believing that You will lift up my heavy arms, that You will fuel me for the tasks You’ve given me, and that Your joy will completely consume the weakness of my life and make me strong again. I don't want to stay grounded, crippled by limitations and failed attempts. I'm tired of feeble efforts. Lord, I want to mount up with wings like an eagle and not just fly. I want to soar. Renew my strength, Lord. Fill me with Your supernatural power to overcome each obstacle in my path. With my eyes on You, Lord, with You walking beside me, working through me, I can make it. Thank You, Lord! I trust and love You, Lord! In Jesus's Name,AMEN 🙏 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.(Psalm 28:7-8)God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.(Psalm 46:1)We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.(2 Corinthians 4:8-10)I can do all things through him who strengthens me.(Philippians 4:13)I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.(Psalm 27:13-14)Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.(Isaiah 41:10)We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy.(Colossians 1:11)For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”(Jeremiah 31:25)The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD.(Lamentations 3:25-26)The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.(Psalm 29:11)So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.(Galatians 6:9)The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.(Job 17:9)Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.(Hebrews 12:1-3)Then Samson prayed to the LORD, “Sovereign LORD, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.” Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars that held up the temple. Pushing against them with both hands, he prayed, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime.(Judges 16:28-30)(pic verse)Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(Matthew 4:23-25)
