Renewed Strength in Seasons of Weariness

Can a young man ever be tired? Can the weight of life’s burdens sap the very strength within you? Can you continue on your path, facing mountains, hurdles, and giants, and not feel the pull of exhaustion? Let me tell you the truth: you will be tired. Even the young, whose glory is strength, will falter. Even the strong will stumble. Scripture tells us plainly: you will be weary, and you will faint. It is part of the journey. It is normal.

The process of life, of pursuing your purpose, can drain every ounce of energy. Your feet may feel too heavy to lift. Your emotions may seem undefined. Your efforts may appear defeated, fruitless, even invisible. And yet, verily I say unto you, this is totally normal

It only becomes abnormal when you throw in the towel, when you give up, when you have no source from which to draw strength. Those who wait on God shall renew their strength. True strength flows not from men, not from circumstances, not from fleeting comfort. It flows from the One who is eternal. If you wait on man, you will crumble. If you rely on Satan, you are swept away by the wind. But if you wait on God, your strength will rise like the wings of eagles. You will soar. You will see with new eyes. You will conquer mountains, crush giants, and take hold of every possession meant for you.

You will know your spirit is weary when God’s promises feel distant, when His word seems unclear. You may be tempted to seek alternatives, to find comfort in the wrong places, to neglect prayer. Ministry may lose its joy; service may feel heavy. These are signs that your soul needs renewal. It is in these moments that self-examination becomes vital. It is in these moments that you must meet with the Holy Spirit for fresh empowerment.

Do not remain tired. Even when you do all the right things, fatigue may come because of the process itself. That is normal. But it is abnormal to remain weary without seeking renewal. Refresh yourself. Rekindle the divine energy within. Even Jesus became tired during His earthly ministry. He asked that the cup be passed over Him, yet He received divine ministering in response to His submission to God’s will. Likewise, your strength can be restored. Draw deeply from God. Let Him revive your spirit. Let Him lift your feet. Let Him renew your vision. Let Him restore your power, so that you may rise again to meet every challenge, every mountain, every giant, and take your rightful place.
