Do you find yourself fallen by the way, tripped or trapped by some sin that hinders you? Look to Jesus and see His heart of love pierced for you. See Jesus dying to pay for the sin in which you stumbled. See Him liberating you from the penalty of your sin. See yourself dying with Him and rising with Him. Remember that you are dead to sin; it is not your master. Let the grace of Jesus flow to you and teach you to say no to ungodliness and worldly lusts. See the love of Jesus on the cross and let it lift you out of your pit to walk again in the Light.
Are you weary and stumbling in your walk? Are you tired of the pressures of this life, distracted by the cares of the world? Look to Jesus and experience His sacrificial love flowing to you from the cross. See the blood Jesus shed, filling you with faith and hope for a blessed future. See Jesus working for you and in you. See Jesus breathing out His last to breathe life abundant into you. Fix your eyes and your thoughts on Jesus and remember His sacrifice for you, and as you do, His resurrection power will move you and use you to the glory of God
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31

Larry writes, "He gives me hope in the middle of my weak, sinful flesh that as long as I keep getting up and looking more closely to Jesus at the cross and beyond, I have hope to go on and be transformed more each day to reflect His glory more clearly! Thank you, Jesus!"
Judy writes, "Dear God, As I look to you and see all you have given in Jesus dying on the cross and rising again, taking all my sins with Him, knowing all I need do is look to you and accept the gift you have given that you are in charge and I need to trust in You and look to You for guidance through the holy spirit showing me the way."
Mike L. writes, "Wow this is absolutely beautiful and encouraging, Jesus' love, mercy and grace toward me are unfathomable. It's hard to believe sometimes that I am loved this much, what encouragement from the apostle Peter; And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ. Lord Jesus thank you for Your sacrifice on my behalf, thank You that when I do stumble You are right there pleading my case once again, You are worthy to be worshiped, I love You so much and pray that You will find my life to be worthy of that love."
Sophia writes, "I love the term "soar" being used in this Isaiah passage. Not just fly, but Soar! It sounds majestic and powerful, and that's the type of strength we have through Christ's death! He can take us from the pit of absolute misery after having a fall like David's (being caught in adultery and then sending the husband to the front lines to be killed) to soaring on eagles' wings. Wow. There is hope for the Christian to say "when I fall, I shall rise. When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me". Thank you, God, for your unfathomable grace which allows you to lift us up from the pit."
