Second Wind

By: Janessa

My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine forever.  Psalm 73:26

Have you ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? Ever felt burnt out and like you have nothing left in you to give? What do you do in those moments? Do you try and fix it yourself or do you lean even more into God and find Christian brothers and sisters to pour into you? You weren't created to live this life alone, so why try? You are going to grow weak and weary in life because you are human and because of sin. When you try to do this life on our own you are going to fall but God can pick you up when you do. Sometimes it's not until you are at your lowest that God can pick you up and be that second wind. Have you ever run a marathon or even seen one? Half way through the runners start to get tired, but they don't give up they keep going and wait for the second wind. It's the same in our lives we are going to fall short and struggle but God is our strength and he endures forever. He will never leave you to fend for yourself. Sometimes it takes those failures and burn outs for us to give up our control and give it to someone stronger than us. It takes us giving up full control when we become weak and giving it all to God. Let God be your strength and when you feel like giving up, let him be your second wind.
