Renew my strength Dear Lord

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in
Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall
lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to
the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not
faint or become tired. Isaiah 40:31 AMP

The people of God are reproved for their unbelief and distrust of
God. Let them remember they took the names Jacob and Israel,
from one who found God faithful to him in all his straits. And they
bore these names as a people in covenant with Him. Many foolish
frets, and foolish fears, would vanish before inquiry into the
causes. It is bad to have evil thoughts rise in our minds, but worse
to turn them into evil words. What they had known, and had heard,
was sufficient to silence all these fears and distrusts. Where God
had begun the work of grace, he will perfect it. He will help those
who, in humble dependence on him, help themselves. As the day,
so shall the strength be. In the strength of Divine grace their souls
shall ascend above the world. They shall run the way of God's
commandments cheerfully. Let us watch against unbelief, pride,
and self-confidence. If we go forth in our own strength, we shall
faint, and utterly fall; but having our hearts and our hopes in
heaven, we shall be carried above all difficulties, and be enabled to
lay hold of the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus
