Weary

“Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah 40:28-31



Dear God,

I’m so tired and weary. I’m physically tired, emotionally weary, and mentally drained from these past 2 weeks. Chem and Pre-cal are so hard. Well, I guess they’re not really that hard. It’s just that everything is new concepts, and I don’t understand everything that is going on.

God, I’m so frustrated. I feel like I’m studying so hard, but I can’t understand the material. I study more than other people, but they’re doing better than me in class. I must not be studying in the right way or something. How can Ryan be so last minute and care-free but still make a 95 on the Chem quiz? He barely studied at all. I studied and worked on the equations for so many hours and I got a 70! Why am I not doing well?

I guess I’m used to always doing well in my classes. It’s so frustrating when I’m not making A’s. I’m so used to doing well in everything, but now I’ve found challenges that are bigger than me.

God, I can’t do it anymore. I can’t handle it on my own. I can’t rely on my own strength. I admit that I need Your help. Without You, I’m doomed to fail.

Please help me. You are my only hope. Please give me Your strength.

“Those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.”
