Finding God’s Strength When You’re Emotionally Drained

If you've ended your day emotionally exhausted and spiritually running on empty, you are not alone. In this evening's prayer, Amanda Idleman shares her deeply personal journey of foster parenting a medically fragile infant while raising six children during a chaotic summer. With honest vulnerability, she invites us to consider the weight of uncertainty and emotional depletion—and the profound truth that God meets us there.

Whether you’re navigating sleepless nights, strained relationships, waiting on life-changing news, or simply trying to keep up with your daily responsibilities, Amanda reminds us that:

• God sees your weariness.

• His strength is made perfect in your weakness.

• Even when you feel like giving up, you’re never alone.

Scripture doesn't promise a pain-free path, but Isaiah 40:29 assures us that God will increase our strength when our own supply runs dry. You don’t have to muscle through this season alone. Rest in His power and presence tonight.

📖 Tonight’s Scripture: Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

God,
I thank you that you are the God who sees me.
You see the burdens I’ve been carrying. You know I need your strength to make it through to the future you have planned for me. In my weakness, give me strength. When I’m ready to give up, remind me that I am not alone. Show me your way forward.
Renew my mind when it is clouded by fear and doubt.
Go before me this summer.
Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon

1. God’s Track Record
   How did God show up for Moses, David, Daniel, or Paul? Read their stories and take heart—He hasn’t changed.

2. Check Your Forecast
   What fears are clouding your view of the future? Ask God to shift your focus from "what ifs" to "what is possible with Him."

3. Prioritize Your Emotional Health
   What rhythms or support systems can help replenish your heart this summer? Create space for rest and renewal.
