(49) He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint. - Isaiah 40:29–31 Lord our God, our loving Father, we thank you for all that our hearts and spirits are allowed to receive from you.We thank you for the community you give us, strengthening us to face life even through toil, struggle, and privation. Grant that your powers flow out to give us strength and courage. May we see and recognize you in your deeds ever more clearly. Do not let us faint or grow weary, no matter what we have to suffer. Grant that your Spirit may penetrate us ever more deeply to bring peace to us and those around us, and finally to bring blessing for all peoples of the earth. Amen. (50) Thus we have come to know and believe the love which God has for us. God is love; he who dwells in love is dwelling in God, and God in him. - 1 John 4:16 Lord our God, we come to you as poor, heavily burdened people who often do not know where to turn. But we have trust in you, for you are love.Your love penetrates deep into our lives, righting what is wrong and making amends for our blundering. And so we are joyful and await your grace and your help on all our ways. Bless us, and help us find what is right in every situation, to your praise and your honor. Amen.
