Running on Empty: A 7-Day Journey of Strength and Enduranceنموونە

Ever tried turning your phone back on with the power button after it dies? It doesn’t work. You know the only thing that can bring it back to life is a power source.

Your life is no different. When you’re drained, burned out, or stretched thin, pushing yourself harder won’t cut it. You need to recharge—and that only happens when you plug back into God.

Isaiah 41:10 is one of those verses that feels like a breath of fresh air. God’s not saying, “Figure it out.” He’s saying, “I’ve got you. I’ll strengthen you.”

We weren’t made to run on our own strength. Eventually, it runs out. But God’s strength doesn’t. It never has and never will. If you’re feeling like you’re at the end of your rope, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You just need to lean into the one whose power never runs dry.

Pray: God, I need your strength today. I’m tired of pretending I can do it all on my own. Remind me that I was never meant to live this life apart from you. Be my power source. Amen.
