In Isaiah 40:28 it says, “Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The LORD is the everlasting God; he created all the world. He never grows tired or weary.” (GNT)
The bigger the changes that happen in my life, the more time I need to spend with God.
This time with God is called a quiet time. In it I read the Bible, talk to God in prayer, and learn to be quiet so that I can listen to what God wants to say.
When I’m stressed out, time alone with God is the great stabilizer. It’s also the greatest re-energizer when I’m worn out. We’ve all gone through a lot of stress recently, and we don’t have as much energy as we used to. Chronic stress has drained us so much, and in it, our lives have changed.
As a result, feeling fatigued is natural. It’s what chronic stress does to a body. No matter how much sleep we can get, we end up waking up tired or start to drag a few hours into the day. In addition, If I feel like I’m just trying to get by, I’m not alone.
So If we’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed out, and barely hanging on, then we need to remember Isaiah 40:28: “Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The LORD is the everlasting God; he created all the world. He never grows tired or weary” (GNT).
God created the entire universe in six days—and he only rested on the seventh day to model a Sabbath for us. He never gets tired! He is never overwhelmed or worn out. He never gets stressed. He can handle anything—including all the things we can’t.
If I spend more time with God, who never grows tired or weary, then I’m going to have more energy. Spending time with God is not a burden or a drudgery or a drain—it’s the opposite! He gives strength to those who are weary. He gives peace and rest.
So If I’m stressed, I shouldn’t seek a quick fix or look for a shortcut. Don’t fight changes that I can’t possibly control. Instead, spend time with God every day.
Even the strongest people will get tired at times, but God's power and strength never diminish. He is never too tired or too busy to help and listen. His strength is my source of strength. So if I feel life crushing me and it seems that I cannot go another step, I can call on God to renew my strength.
Trusting in the Lord is expecting that his promise of strength will help me rise above life's distractions and difficulties. Believe that God loves me and wants what is best for me. I can relax and have confidence that his purposes are right, and that he has the power to control all of what's around me and my life. Though my faith may be struggling or weak, I can accept his provisions and his care for me.
In summary, my God will never grow tired or weary. He will strengthen me when I'm weak and tired. When I trust in him, I will find the strength is renewed. God's power and strength never diminish. He is never too tired or busy to help and listen. His strength is my source of strength. When things are taxing and burdensome, I can call on God to renew my strength. Trusting in Him is expecting that his promise of strength will help me rise above life's distractions and difficulties. Believe that God loves me and wants what is best for me. I can have confidence that his purposes are right, and he has the power to control and use all things. When my faith may be struggling or weak, I can accept his provisions and his care for me. The worst times of life will exhaust and drain me. Since God can raise the dead, he can certainly help me. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to me. God can resurrect my health and infuse new life into my career. I receive his power when God fills my life with the Holy Spirit. I can master my situation. I'll no longer be relying on my own power to hold the strings of life together. Instead I'll be depending on God's power. God is faithful. No matter what I'm facing, he will carry me through it.
