tired

²⁸Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.”

³¹But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.

²⁸Do you not know, or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, who has created the limits of the earth. He does not diminish, and he does not struggle. Neither is his wisdom searchable. ²⁹It is he who gives strength to the weary, and it is he who increases fortitude and strength in those who are failing. ³⁰Servants will struggle and fail, and young men will fall into infirmity. ³¹But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.

⁷Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way, with the man who does injustice.

⁹And so, let us not be deficient in doing good. For in due time, we shall reap without fail. ¹⁰Therefore, while we have time, we should do good works toward everyone, and most of all toward those who are of the household of the faith.

²⁵For I have inebriated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every hungry soul.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

¹⁹The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.

⁸Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.

³³And God is not of dissension, but of peace, just as I also teach in all the churches of the saints.

¹“Be consoled, be consoled, O my people!” says your God. ²Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out to her! For her malice has reached its end. Her iniquity has been forgiven. She has received double for all her sins from the hand of the Lord. ³The voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord! Make straight the paths of our God, in a solitary place. ⁴Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked will be straightened, and the uneven will become level ways. ⁵And the glory of the Lord will be revealed. And all flesh together will see that the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” ⁶The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” And I said, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.

²⁶My body has failed, and my heart: O God of my heart, and God my portion, into eternity.

²⁴When you slumber, you shall not fear. When you rest, your sleep also will be sweet.

²O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer. ³I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me, ⁴for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy. ⁵I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.
