They That Hope in the Lord will Renew their Strength

There are times of dryness, days of seeking, moments of emptiness, as if there’s a void inside of us.  What is our posture or attitude in these times?  Here are some things that can help and guide us.

a.       Seek for the Lord
We are brought to a point of emptiness so we can look for what can truly fill us. “I sought the Lord, He heard me and delivered me from my fears (Psalm 34:4).”


b.       Endure in Faithfulness
It is easy to be tempted to draw away from God in these times.  More than ever, we have to be faithful. Sin separates us from God. Do not be tempted to be lazy and put off your responsibilities. It is best to go to mass and confession to receive His graces so we can endure.


c.        Await for His message
The Lord speaks powerfully when you are in your “desert.” When we are fully surrendered to God, it is when He fills us with His wisdom and power.


d.       Ask for an In-filling of the Holy Spirit
By the power of the Holy Spirit, our spirit is renewed. Ask your spouse or a friend to pray-over you so your strength is renewed.


“They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings;
They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint (Isaiah 40:31).”


We are to hope in Him by seeking, enduring, awaiting, and asking for His power.  The Lord shall renew our strength and become even stronger than before.
