My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26BSB
-
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
Isaiah 40:29BSB

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

Something to say with it
A verse means more with a sentence from you. A few places to start:
- Praying for you today. No need to write back.
- Thinking of you and asking God to stay close.
- Whatever today holds, you're not facing it alone.
- Can I bring dinner or drive you this week? Just say when.
