b'God, not in my own strength\\nI can\\u2019t do this alone\\nGod, not without your help\\nI am too weak to press on\\nGod, not without your promises\\nI can\\u2019t keep going\\nGod, not without you holding me\\nI am too weak to stand\\nGod, I need you to lift me\\nMy head has fallen\\nGod, I need you to help me fly\\nMy wings are broken\\nGod, I need you to breathe into me\\nMy breath is gone\\nGod, keep my heart beating\\nKeep me close to you \\u2981 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 Have you ever felt like the author of this poem? How could it be\\ncomforting to know that, even when we are at the end of our strength, God\\u2019s\\nstrength will never run out?\\n\\u2022 When we feel like life is too hard and we are too tired, God has\\ncompassion on us. He doesn\\u2019t expect us to be able to do everything in our\\nown strength\\u2014He invites us to come to Him and rely on His strength through\\nthe Holy Spirit (who lives inside every believer). Through Jesus\\u2019s death\\nand resurrection, God has made a way for us to live in union with Him,\\nconstantly relying on Him for our every need. He will never leave us, even\\nat our weakest points. When is it difficult for you to rely on God? Who can\\nyou talk to during those times?\\n\\u2022 What promises does God give us in Isaiah 40:28-31?\\nDo not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will\\nstrengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous\\nright hand. Isaiah 41:10 (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nIsa.41.10|Isa.40.28-Isa.40.31|2Cor.12.9-2Cor.12.10'
