God is the provider of comfort and strength Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. Psalm

42:11 There are those days when your mind and body are feeling tired and just plain weak. Maybe you are exhausted from a crazy busy week at work or dealing with stressful health issues. In either case it is probable that you are suffering from a good old-fashioned case of burnout, but these bumps in the road shall pass. When you are feeling down and out you often look to family and loved ones for encouragement. In addition, for many people, their Bible provides many verses and relatable stories to help pull them out of their slump. Scripture can serve as a great reminder that, with a little faith, strength can always be found even when we think it is lost. This week I found myself in this place. While I was reading, I found a number of comforting verses and I will share three of my favorites with you: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 “Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 Whether you are feeling spiritually, mentally, or physically weak at the moment, spending time with the Lord and reading scripture will always help you. “Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
