Just like a vase of flowers that quickly drinks up all its water, our hearts can run dry when we’ve been pouring out for everyone else and neglecting to be refilled. Over time, as our nightly prayer and devotional reminds us, exhaustion takes root—physically, mentally, and spiritually—and even our faith can start to wilt.

But Isaiah 40:29 offers a promise: God gives strength to the weary and power to the weak. He doesn’t shame us for feeling empty; instead, He invites us to come close and be replenished. When we stop trying to manufacture strength and instead draw from His living water, we find that His grace quietly fills what has run dry.

Like the flowers that revive when fresh water is poured in, we too can bloom again when we rest in His presence. Rest isn’t idleness—it’s worship. Renewal happens not in striving, but in stillness.

If you’re feeling depleted tonight, you don’t have to push through. You can pause and let the Giver of Living Water fill you once more.

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

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

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Giver of Living Water,
You see how empty I feel—how life has drained me of energy, hope, and joy. Please fill me again with Your strength. When I feel like I can’t take another step, remind me that You carry me. Help me to rest in Your presence and to trust that You are renewing me from the inside out. Thank You for Your endless patience and Your tender care. I choose to rest in You tonight, believing that You will restore what’s been depleted.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon


A Cup Overflowing:
Reflect on Psalm 23:5—“My cup overflows.” How might this image help you trust that God is ready to refill what’s been drained?


Life-Giving Rhythms:
What small, life-giving practices help you feel restored—like reading, creating, walking, or resting? Make intentional space for one this week.


Symbols of Rest:
Find or display something—a photo, a candle, or a verse—that reminds you to slow down and receive God’s replenishment.

📣 Calls to Action


🌿 Take ten minutes tonight to simply be still—no agenda, no lists. Just breathe and rest in God’s presence.


💬 Share this devotion with a friend who feels drained and weary—they may need this gentle reminder of hope.
