Scripture:

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

— Psalm 73:26 (ESV)

Reflection:

As the day begins, remember: human strength has limits, but God’s faithfulness does not. When your flesh is weak and your heart is weary, you are met not with condemnation, but with divine strength. God Himself becomes your portion—not just what He gives, but who He is. This is the sustaining grace that carries you through what you cannot carry alone. Start today grounded in that truth—your life is upheld by the One who never fails.

Prayer:

Lord, I confess my weakness, but I rest in Your strength. Be my portion today. Fill my heart with courage and my steps with purpose. You are more than enough for me. Amen.
