Dear beloved,
This letter is for the one who feels like her strength is running out.
You’ve been faithful.You’ve been obedient.But if you’re honest,you’re running on fumes.
You’ve mistaken exhaustion for endurance,and motion for maturity.
You love Jesus, but lately it feels like you’re serving others more than you’re sitting with Him.
And what once felt like ministry now feels like maintenance.
The Strength Found in Stillness
“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint.” —Isaiah 40:31
Notice—He didn’t say those who work harder or push longer.He said those who wait.
Waiting isn’t weakness.It’s worship.It’s the place where striving ends and supernatural strength begins.
You’ve been trying to fly on faith without resting on grace.But wings don’t grow in the wind—they grow in the waiting.
God’s renewal doesn’t come from adrenaline; it comes from abiding.He’s not calling you to perform; He’s calling you to pause.
“Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” — 2 Corinthians 4:16
You don’t get renewed by running faster;you get renewed by remaining longer.
The Exchange of Strength
Renewal is not God topping off your tank.It’s Him exchanging your strength for His.
When you wait in His presence,He doesn’t just refill you, He transforms you.
The world tells you to keep pushing.He tells you to start trusting.
You say, “I can’t slow down.”He says, “You can’t stand if you don’t.”
🔔 YOUR WAKE-UP CALL TODAY
Pray this quietly but deeply:
“Lord, forgive me for equating movement with maturity.Teach me to wait on You again.I exchange my exhaustion for Your endurance,my hurry for Your holiness,my pace for Your peace.Renew my mind, my heart, and my hope until I rise in Your strength.In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Then ask yourself:
“When was the last time I waited on God without rushing Him?”
Set a timer today.Five minutes.Ten.Sit in silence with Him.Let your soul learn that renewal doesn’t come from more; it comes from Him.
If you have a friend who’s ready to be renewed, share it with them today.
God doesn’t want stronger soldiers.He wants surrendered sons and daughters.Because the ones who learn to wait well are the ones who last long.
With love in Christ,Shawna & Camille
