Strength from God

God, not in my own strength

I can’t do this alone

God, not without your help

I am too weak to press on

God, not without your promises

I can’t keep going

God, not without you holding me

I am too weak to stand

God, I need you to lift me

My head has fallen

God, I need you to help me fly

My wings are broken

God, I need you to breathe into me

My breath is gone

God, keep my heart beating

Keep me close to you ⦠Emily Acker

Have you ever felt like the author of this poem? How could it be

comforting to know that, even when we are at the end of our strength, God’s

strength will never run out?

When we feel like life is too hard and we are too tired, God has

compassion on us. He doesn’t expect us to be able to do everything in our

own strengthHe invites us to come to Him and rely on His strength through

the Holy Spirit (who lives inside every believer). Through Jesus’s death

and resurrection, God has made a way for us to live in union with Him,

constantly relying on Him for our every need. He will never leave us, even

at our weakest points. When is it difficult for you to rely on God? Who can

you talk to during those times?

What promises does God give us in Isaiah 40:28-31?

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will

strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous

right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (CSB)
