I Woke Up Tired. Fill Me With Strength, Lord.

Today’s Verse

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…”

– Isaiah 40:31

Some mornings hit different. You wake up and already feel worn out, like your energy didn’t make it through the night with you. Your body is tired, your mind is foggy, your heart feels heavy, and if you're being real, it’s not just a physical thing - it’s deeper.

This is what soul fatigue feels like.

You’ve been showing up, pouring out, handling responsibilities, trying to stay strong in front of everyone… but now it’s catching up. Even your prayers feel quiet. Your faith still believes, but your strength is running low.

But the great news is that God sees it all. He’s not surprised by it, and He’s definitely not disappointed in you.

Isaiah 40:31 is about being renewed. This kind of strength doesn’t come from caffeine, sleep, or motivation. It comes from waiting on God. And “waiting” doesn’t mean sitting around passively. It means leaning into Him, expecting Him to meet you right where you are. It means coming to Him, even empty, and saying: “God, I need you to carry me today.”

You don’t need to fake strength. You don’t need to act like you’ve got it all together. Heaven responds to honesty. When you admit you’re weak, you open the door for divine power to rise in you. This power doesn’t just restore; it lifts. It causes you to soar above the weight that’s been holding you down.

If you woke up tired today, you’re in the perfect position for a supernatural exchange. Weakness for power. Heaviness for fresh wind. Weariness for divine endurance.

Bold Prophetic Declarations

Declare boldly:

I decree and declare: even though I woke up tired, I will not stay drained. I may feel worn out in my body and heavy in my soul, but I tap into a strength that doesn't run out.

I am not faking strength. I bring my real self to a real God who sees me, knows me, and lifts me. I trade this weakness for His power, this heaviness for His breath, and this weariness for fresh fire.

Today, I am not running on my own. I’m being carried by the One who never grows tired.

I declare my strength is back, my spirit is rising, and by the power of the Holy Ghost, I will walk through this day renewed.

In Jesus' name, Amen!
