                      When You Feel Weak

Little one, you are not nearly as weak as it feels like you are. Don't
you know that I walk with you and I strengthen you? My Holy Spirit
resides inside of you, and through His indwelling presence, you can do 
all things.

Dear one, at times you feel powerless and ineffective. That happens 
when you put too much of yourself into the task, and do not rely 
enough on Me. 

Stop leaning on your own strength and allow Me to strengthen you. Stop 
trusting in your own ability and begin to embrace Mine, for there is 
nothing that I cannot do through you if you only submit to Me. Stop
depending on your own limited resources and tap into Mine, for Mine are
unlimited and they are more than sufficient for any task that I call 
you to.

Dear one, when you are tired and worn out, it is OK to stop striving and
rest in Me. The burden does not rest on your shoulders, no matter how 
much it may feel like it does. Lay this heavy thing down and take up My 
burden instead; for My burden is light and I am able to carry the load 
for you. You do not have to do it all on your own. In fact, you should 
not even try that, for you cannot succeed apart from Me. 

Come to Me and rest in Me, for I am your source and your inspiration. 
I will revive you when you run to Me, and as you bask in My presence, 
you will be strengthened and fortified. I will refresh you. I will 
breathe the abundance of My life into you, and I will restore the 
vision that I have given you. I will set you back in your destiny and 
make you successful in walking it out.

Dear one, if your load feels too heavy, that means you are carrying more 
than I intended for you to carry. It is time to lay it down at My feet 
and allow Me to sort through it with you. I will remove the many things 
that you do not need to carry, for they only wear you down and tire you
out. Let Me take these unnecessary burdens from you and allow Me to
strengthen you and fully equip you for all that I have given you to do.

Matthew 11:29-30 
  29Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and 
  humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My 
  yoke is easy and my burden is light."
