"So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good purpose"
-- Philippians 2:12-13 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
Are you fired with enthusiasm for Christ? If so, congratulations, and keep up the good work! But, if your spiritual batteries are running low, then perhaps you are spending too much energy working for yourself and not enough energy working for God. If you are feeling tired, or troubled, or both, don't despair. Instead, seek strength from the source that never fails; that source, of course, is your Heavenly Father. And rest assured, when you sincerely promise Him, He will give you all the strength you need to live victoriously for Him.

Lord, let us find our strength in You. When we are weary, give us rest. When we are overwhelmed, let us look to You for our priorities. Let Your power be our power, Lord, and let Your way be our way today and forever.
