God shares His power, strength, and help with all those who depend on Him. What an encouragement that should be to the people of God today.
Isaiah 40:29-31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the strongest of humans is prone to weakness and failure.
[30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But when we look to the Lord in prayer — in His Word, in waiting before Him for guidance and help — He will enable us to run our race without growing weary.
[31] But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

“Teach me Lord to wait down on my knees — Till in Your own good time You answer my pleas. — Teach me not to rely on what others do — But to wait in prayer for an answer from You
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength — They shall mount up with wings as eagles. — They shall run and not be weary — They shall walk and not faint — Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait
“Teach me Lord to wait while hearts are aflame — Let me humble my pride and call on Your name. — Keep my faith renewed, my eyes on Thee — Let me be on this earth what you want me to be.
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength — They shall mount up with wings as eagles. — They shall run and not be weary — They shall walk and not faint — Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait.”
