Exhaustion isn’t a spiritual failure — it’s a sign to return to your source. God isn’t asking you to run on empty.
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” — Isaiah 40:29
Today, let this be your permission to pause and draw strength again.
Reflection
Where do you feel worn down or depleted? Have you been trying to move forward without first being filled?
Journal prompt:
What areas of my life need God’s strength — not my own striving — today?
Scripture
- Matthew 11:28 – “Come unto me… and I will give you rest.”
- Psalm 73:26 – “God is the strength of my heart…”
- 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
Read slowly. Let these words renew you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I’m tired — and that’s okay.
Meet me in my weariness with Your steady strength.
Help me release what was never mine to carry alone.
Amen.
Strength often begins with stillness.
