Spiritual battles are draining. They suck the very life out of you, leaving you angry, lonely and exhausted. Consider Elijah the prophet. After his showdown with the false prophets of Baal he became so spiritually and emotionally exhausted that he laid down under a tree and prayed to die (see 1 Kings 19:1-4).
So what can we do when we grow weary in the battle?
We can find a safe place away from the heat of battle where we can rest. We can wait on the Lord and He will renew our strength.
“He gives power to the weak,
— Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV)
And to those who have no might He increases strength.”
Lord Jesus, help those who have grown weary in the battle. Renew their strength and refresh them. Amen.
