Strength for Every Morning
Isaiah 33:2 – “O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.”
Life’s trials often come without warning, and many mornings begin with burdens we didn’t expect. This prayer from Isaiah is both a cry for help and a declaration of trust. It recognizes our daily need for God’s strength (“Be their arm every morning”) and His saving hand in moments of trouble.
The sword of truth cuts through the lie that we can rely on yesterday’s faith to face today’s challenges. The cross reminds us that God’s grace is new each morning, and that salvation is not a one-time rescue but an ongoing promise for every season.
Waiting on God is not passive—it is active faith. It means trusting His timing, leaning on His strength, and looking to Him before all else. When we start each day with this posture, fear gives way to peace.
Reflection: Do I begin my days in my own strength, or do I first reach for God’s arm to guide and sustain me?
Prayer: Lord, be my strength every morning. Let Your grace carry me through the day, and be my salvation in every trial.
