Isaiah 40:31

Strength and help in weaknessWaiting on GodHopeExhaustion

29 He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.

But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
