Where To Turn When You Run Out Of Strength | Guided Prayers

As we get started today, I want you to clear your mind and picture a father carrying his child.

Maybe the child fell asleep in the car and is being carried peacefully to their crib for a nap.

Perhaps the child fell and scraped their knee and ran to the father for help.

Or maybe the child just needed a loving embrace from dad.

Sometimes there are seasons where you simply don't have the strength to keep moving forward on your own.

Maybe today is one of those days.

In those moments, God doesn't demand more from you.

He carries you.

Like a loving father, he lifts you up and walks with you through every step.

Deuteronomy 1.31 says, The Lord your God carried you as a father carries his son.

As you are focused on this idea of a father carrying his child, take 20 seconds and thank God for carrying you through seasons you couldn't handle alone.

Ask him to carry you in this season and to take the pressure off your shoulders.

Invite him to remind you that you don't have to hold everything together.

In the picture, I want you to imagine that Jesus is the one lifting you up.

Amen.
