"As
one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted
in Jerusalem." Isaiah 66:13
Our God is not weak. He is strong and powerful. And, yet, he
is also gentle and tender like a mother hen is to her chicks. He comforts his
children like a mother comforts her young. He gathers us in His arms like a
shepherd gathers his sheep, if we are willing.
So, when we, his followers and servants, grow weak and
tired; when we are sad or feeling lonely or forgotten; or when we lack the
physical or emotional strength to keep going because of hardship, persecution
and trouble in our lives, he brings us comfort. He quiets our anxious hearts
and fills us with his peace when we call on him in truth, trusting in his love
and mercy. He will never leave us or forsake us. He knows what we are going
through. He has not forgotten us. He will empower us and give us strength to
endure if we trust him.
Weary of Heart

Based off Isaiah 40
You who bring the Good News,
Lift up your voice.
Do not fear. Shout it out:
“Here is your God!”
The sovereign Lord comes
With power and strength.
He gathers His tender lambs
In His arms.
Lift up your eyes and look:
“Who made all things?”
God, our creator knows
All about you.
Your cause is not
Disregarded by God.
He will not leave;
He’ll not abandon you.
When you are troubled
And weary of heart,
Trust the Lord with your life.
Do not despair.
He will empower you;
Strengthen within.
Soar on wings like eagles,
Walk and not faint.
