Even some of the strongest people I know get tired. But one thing we can rest assured is that God’s strength and power never runs out. He is never, never, never too tired or busy to listen to us and help with our needs. In Isaiah 40:29-31, we find: “He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint.”

So when you feel that life is getting you down and you’ve gone as far as you can go just remember to call upon God and he will renew your strength.
