Giver of Strength  

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

There is not much better than becoming aware of our weakness and being met by God’s strength and grace in the midst of it. God fills in all the places we lack, and He wants to hold you up and strengthen you today in your weakness. We can release the need to appear strong because we have a very strong God on our behalf.

Where do you need the strength of God today? Where do you feel weak, powerless, or weary? Where do you need to run but only feel exhausted? Your lot is not to go through life living solely by your own power. Well, guess what? You don’t have to! Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” There is no reason for you to struggle with burdens that are too heavy for you. God’s Word is full of promises to help us in times of trouble.

Prayer for today: Father, we are thankful that when we struggle you are there to help us carry the load. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
