Have you ever felt the pressure to maintain a facade of strength when you're actually falling apart inside? Today's soul-nourishing devotional offers a liberating alternative through the powerful words of Isaiah 40:29.

We explore the counterintuitive truth that genuine strength often begins with acknowledging our weakness. Drawing from the promise that "He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless," we discover how God's power operates most perfectly in the spaces where our own abilities fall short. This isn't just theological theory—it's a practical approach to the exhaustion, fear, and burdens that can overwhelm us.

The devotional challenges the cultural narrative that we must constantly project capability and self-sufficiency. Instead, we're invited into an authentic relationship with God where we can honestly say, "Lord, I can't do this on my own." Through guided reflection and a simple prayer practice, you'll learn how to identify areas where you're struggling and intentionally exchange your limited strength for God's unlimited power. This shift from self-reliance to divine dependence offers not just momentary relief but a sustainable way to navigate life's challenges.

Ready to stop pretending you're fine when you're not? Join us in this brief but powerful moment of spiritual refreshment that could transform how you approach weakness and strength in your daily life. Take a deep breath, bring your burdens, and discover the freedom that comes when you allow God's strength to carry what you cannot.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
