When you feel like giving up, Isaiah 40:31 promises that those who wait on the Lord will find their strength renewed. God does not expect you to push through on your own — He offers to carry you.
What Scripture Says
"But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

2 Corinthians 4:16Going Deeper
Wanting to give up is not failure — it is the honest cry of someone who has been carrying too much for too long. God does not shame you for reaching the end of your strength. In fact, that is often exactly where He meets you. His promise is not that you won't grow weary, but that He will renew your strength when you do.
