"O Israel, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? How can you say God refuses to hear your case? Have you never heard or understood? Don’t you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth? God never grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of God’s understanding.  God gives power to those who are tired and worn out; God offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young ones will give up.  But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

–Isaiah 40:27-31, Life Application Bible, Universal Language S.Cole Wilson.
