Weary

Matthew 5:3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

I am weary, God,

but I can prevail.

Weariness and strength,

the Lord knows them both.

For He created the mountains,

He set apart the valleys;

His footsteps mark them both.

In my weariness

I look to the Lord my God.

I call out to Him in need

for deliverance.

In my weariness

the Lord is my only hope

and He will prevail.

For it is Him who gives me strength;

I am His chosen creation.

The Lord delights in my weariness,

He loves to give me His strength.

He casts down the wicked,

the proud

who see no need for Him.

But He uplifts the meek,

the weary

who see all their need in Him.

I am weary, O Lord,

but I can prevail

because I am Your beloved.

Fill my cup, O mighty Creator,

so that I will never run dry.

Praise Your name, O my God,

for You deliver Your people.

Amen.
