3 Promises for Those Who Feel Too Weak to Keep Going

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” (1 Peter 5:10).

Over the last five years, I’ve felt weak, ashamed, embarrassed, and too beaten down to stand. Ten+ diagnoses have stripped my identity—taken away hobbies and energy I once had. My mental space has become a blur. Foggy and shaken. Confused and riddled with pain. Spiritually, I’ve doubted.

I’ve felt guilty for being exhausted. Not strong enough. - Amber Ginter
