Sometimes life just makes you weary. Even the monotony of every day life can wear on you and drag you down. You can start feeling weak, faint, or listless. Life loses its sparkle and energy. You grow dull and heavy. Both your body and mind suffer exhaustion and you begin to lose patience with those around you or the circumstances in which you find yourself.

This, however, is not the Lord God's best plan for your life. He desires your life to be abundant and full. He wants to fulfill your smallest yearning and desire, as long as those are in line with His will and His word. He not only wants to fulfill your dreams, but He also wants you to enjoy your life as wait to see them manifested.

But , you say, how can I enjoy my life when I am so tired and weary? Where do I get joy when I feel so empty and dry? You must go to God; He is the only One who has an everlasting supply of all that you need. If you need strength, lean on Adonai, the Lord Almighty, who is all powerful. i f you are hungry, the Lord, the Bread of Life, will provide enough so that you can feed until you are full and satisfied. Perhaps you are thirsty; then go to Him who is the Living Water and He will slake your thirst. You will become drunk on His goodness and blessing in your life. Therefore, soak in the water of His word, which will cleanse you and refresh you.

If you are in a time of mourning and sorrow, do not let yourself pine, thinking you have no hope. The Lord God will draw you into His own comforting arms. He will fence you around with His love and compassion. Even though you have been diminished and suffered loss, God will replenish you. What was empty the Lord will fill up again. Where there was lack, God will give you abundance. And He will give you the physical and mental strength to accomplish,
finish, and complete all that He has planned for you.

Therefore, rejoice and be at peace, for the Lord your God is your Restorer and Rebuilder!
