In today’s Your Nightly Prayer devotional, we’re reminded through Isaiah 40:29 that God gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Exhaustion—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—is not something God shames. Instead, He welcomes us into His presence to be renewed. When you stop striving and start abiding, His grace quietly fills what has been emptied. Let this be your invitation to pause, exhale, and let God restore your soul. 📖 Tonight’s Scripture: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” – Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
