“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”    Isaiah 40:31

God is always strong, no matter how we feel at the time.  He loves to give us some of His strength so that we can not only “get by”, but so that we can SOAR, RUN and WALK.  We can give Him our feelings of weariness and faintness, and He will RENEW our STRENGTH.  All He asks is that we HOPE IN THE LORD.  Sometimes it’s hard to remember to simply ask  God for strength—I’m too independent and stubborn!  The more I try, the easier it gets to find my wings. And I enjoy the feeling of soaring over my present circumstances!
