Having started an intercessory prayer group with an online social network, my co-moderator and myself have taken on the challenge of counseling those who stagger in their faith or have succumbed to such circumstances that they feel they no longer can believe in God. Each person's difficulties present new challenges, but when either of us feels like giving up, we are reminded that Christ never gave up on us, and that though we may not see the difference we may make in a person's life, God, however, does. We are mere handmaidens of the Lord and mighty prayer warriors before the throne of God. Thank you for posting this devotion. What a wonderful message and certainly a blessing.

I'm feeling helpless, and I cant think when will they be able to know and understand the ways of the Lord? When will they have true commitments? Only the Lord knows. But all I (or we) can do is wait, and wait upon the Lord. He has wonderful plans for each one of us. As Oswald Chambers said, “It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God’s work in our own way.” God bless! =) Often times I’m feeling ‘tired’, because some young people haven’t been responding to us, or to the things we must do for the Lord.

I was just again blindly accused of doing a wrong thing! Thank you for reminding me that God is the One overseeing my actions and activities and is the Just One. May God bless you.

I too was going to give up and turn them over to God because I thought that I was supposed to step aside and let Him take care of the rest. I now know in my heart that I should never tire of helping others even if they don't get the why because I am not doing it to please them but for the Glory and Honor of my Lord. May He bless you all and equip you with the love of not self but others who also need his love In Christ , Lydia Thankyou so much for this message

We do sometimes get weary in well doing and it can bring on many dysfunctional feelings when it comes to our duties to God. "Be not weary in well doing" reminds me that we ought to always do good because God has our reward in heaven. We must be about our Father's business just like Jesus was. Be blessed!

We all get weary in well-doing - giving, serving, teaching, living righteously and seemingly not being blessed, while those around us live unrighteously and are being blessed - we all get weary. But, your words have encouraged me today. Blessings on you and your family! Roxanne, thank you for sharing your heart and your insight from God. We all get weary in well-doing – giving, serving, teaching, living righteously and seemingly not being blessed, while those around us live unrighteously and are being blessed – we all get weary. But, your words have encouraged me today. Blessings on you and your family!
