May 12 – Held By God’s Strength

Scripture (KJV) – Psalm 73:26

“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”

Reflection

There are moments in life when our strength runs out. Our bodies grow tired, our minds become overwhelmed, and our hearts feel discouraged. Even faithful believers experience weakness and difficult seasons. Yet this verse gives powerful hope — when our strength fails, God’s strength never does.

The psalmist understood that human ability has limits, but God remains constant forever. The Lord is not only our helper during hard times; He is our portion. That means He is enough. Earthly things may fade, people may disappoint us, and circumstances may change, but God remains faithful through every season.

Sometimes God allows us to reach the end of ourselves so we will fully depend upon Him. In weakness, His power becomes even more visible. When you feel weary today, remember that you are not holding yourself together alone. God is holding you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being my strength when I feel weak and overwhelmed. When my heart grows discouraged and my mind becomes weary, remind me that You are always near. Help me trust You completely and lean upon Your strength instead of my own. Fill me with peace, courage, and renewed faith today. Thank You for never leaving me and for being my portion forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
