Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”

When Strength Is Not Enough
by C D SWANSON~

There comes a point in every life where human strength reaches its limit. The body grows weary, the mind grows thin, and the heart trembles under the weight of what it cannot carry. This verse reminds us that our limitations are not failures — they are invitations. When our strength ends, God’s begins. When our portion feels small, His portion is infinite. True resilience is not found in the human will alone, but in the quiet surrender that says, “Lord, be my strength where I cannot.” In that surrender, we discover a deeper truth: God is not merely a helper; He is the sustaining force behind every breath, every step, every hope.

“LORD, when my strength falters and my heart feels overwhelmed, be the steady portion that never runs dry. Teach me to lean into Your everlasting strength, trusting that You uphold me when I cannot uphold myself. Let Your presence be my peace, Your power my refuge, and Your love my anchor today.  In Jesus name, Amen.”
