Key Verse:

“He giveth power to the faint;

and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”

— Isaiah 40:29

Rooted Truth:

When you come to the end of your strength, you find the beginning of God’s.

Faith Story:

In the wilderness, when Israel was exhausted and discouraged, Moses reminded them:

“The LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son…”

— Deuteronomy 1:31

A father doesn’t carry his child because the child is strong—

but because the child is precious.

You may feel weary today.

You may feel like you’re barely holding on.

You may feel like the valley is deeper than you can walk.

But here is the hope Scripture gives you:

God carries His children.

Not just guides.

Not just watches.

Not just encourages.

He carries.

He carried Elijah when depression crushed him.

He carried David when sorrow drowned him.

He carried Paul when trials overwhelmed him.

He carried the disciples when they sank in fear.

He carried the cross so He could carry you.

Your strength is not the solution.

God’s strength is.

The promise of Isaiah 40 is not for the strong—

but for the faint.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 73:26 – “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart…”

Matthew 11:28 – “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden…”

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Daily Practice:

Identify one area where you feel weak, overwhelmed, or unable to continue in your own strength.

Pray:

“Lord, carry me here.”

Release the weight into His hands.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, I confess that I am tired and in need of You. Where my strength ends, let Your strength begin. Carry me through this valley, lift me when I cannot stand, and renew me by Your Spirit.

Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Where are you at the end of your strength right now?

• How has God carried you in past seasons of weakness?

• What would it look like to allow God—not yourself—to be your strength today?
