He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29 NIV 

God provides strength when we need to be readied to rise. He arms us with the power of love and helps us learn how it feels to trust. He allows us to wait with Him, so we will feel His presence of peace and know how it feels to be held in holiness. 

We will not always feel strong. But, God will reward the love of our faithfulness. He will open our hearts in truth. He will help us see what needs to be discovered, so we will examine our lives and recognize His strength is made stronger in weakness. Read 2 Corinthians 12:8-10. 

God will humble us. And, while we are held in moments of need, He will lift us where we are. He will help us see the need for mercy and delight in the prayers of our praise. He will increase our strength and remind us to patiently wait on Him. And while we are cradled in care, He will arm us with everything we need, so we will become much stronger than before.

Dear God, Thank you for mercy and grace. Thank you for humbling our hearts, so we will recognize the need for Your holiness. We will trust You all the days of our lives and find hope in the promise of Your everlasting love. And, we will learn how it feels to be very, very grateful to feel STRONG. Amen
