"My energy levels will never return; exhaustion is permanent now."
How it sounds in your head: I'm tired all the time, can barely make it through the day without naps. This fatigue is just part of being in my seventies. High energy is for young people.
"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
-- Isaiah 40:29-31Medical acceptance of chronic fatigue as aging byproduct, denying supernatural vitality available through covenant.
He wakes up tired, exhausted by noon, needs rest after simple tasks. Every senior he knows lives the same way. Energy drinks and coffee don't help anymore.
Exhausted, suicidal, lying under a tree wanting to die, Elijah ate food an angel provided and the strength from that ONE MEAL sustained him for FORTY DAYS and nights of walking to Horeb. Supernatural energy from divine provision.
I REFUSE the lie that exhaustion is my permanent state. IT IS WRITTEN: He gives power to the weak and INCREASES strength to those who have no might. My strength is RENEWED like the eagles'—I run and am not weary, I walk and do not faint. The BARAK blessing includes vitality and vigor. IT IS WRITTEN: The joy of the Lord is my STRENGTH. One touch from God sustained Elijah for forty days. I receive supernatural energy from His presence. My age does not determine my strength—HIS POWER does.
The Father isn't nodding sympathetically at your fatigue—He's the God who gave Elijah forty days of energy from one meal. He's running toward your exhaustion with RENEWED STRENGTH, supernatural vitality that defies your birth certificate.
