TLord, I’m weary. My energy is sagging, and my motivation is lagging. And I am so in need of you. I need your strength and your fresh touch to get back on track again. Your Word says the joy of the Lord is my strength. If that’s true, then I need your joy to replace all the bonetired parts of my mind, body, and soul.
The pressures of life sometimes push me into a corner, rendering me helpless to move forward. A hundred voices call my name, and I feel paralysed at times to answer, not knowing where to turn. Lord, help me not to quit, to keep running the race faithfully, amen. woaulkldedusauwalaly fwinidthattahyeairdvsearlye, btheesyt clothing, ewels of silver and ewels of gold, this was their payment for btahbeeuensyeadaf.rflsicettmheedey,mtwhbeeryrethheaandtsbIlaserveaenedlmahniasdǦ iunsceadpatnivditaybaunsdesdlaavnedrythfoeryʹhaͲdybeeaersn.
