I will strengthen the weary and renew those who are weak.
MATTHEW 5:3 (MSG)
You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We're most likely to encounter the generosity of God when we're at our wits end.
DAILY FODDER
Why do you think God's blessings seem to show up more when we're worn out and don't know what to do?
PRAYER
Amighty God, thank you for showing your love to us even when we're incapable of returning the affection, because of our weariness and brokeness. Forgive me for thinking that I've got to suck it up and give you something in order to deserve your attention. Help me to humbly receive what you've got lined up for me. I'm going to accept your blessings without argument or excuse — just a big thank you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
