The Prayer Mantle


            [29] He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have
            no might he increaseth strength.
            [30] Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
            young men shall utterly fall:
            [31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
            strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
            shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
            faint.


             SCRIPTURE EXPOSITION
            Day by day, the issues of life can lay so much weight on
            humanity that it saps the strength in man to persevere and
            hold  on  till  the  end.  The  scripture  above  makes  us
            understand that even though the youth who apparently
            have  so  much  energy  will  faint  and  be  weary,  and  the
            young  men  who  undisputedly  possess  some  physical
            prowess  will  pass  out.  However,  God  will  renew  the
            strength  of  His  children  that  wait  on  him;  those  that
            continuously tarry in his presence through prayer. They
            will have the strength of an eagle and not faint. This is the
            promise of God over your life - the strength of an eagle.
            When an eagle soars, it glides in the air majestically. When
            other birds are not able to go on, the eagle heads far and
            further. As it soars in the air, the eagle is able to see its prey
            and plan its mode of attack. Child of God, that is the mind
            of Christ concerning you. Glory to Jesus! Claim what is
            yours now in Jesus name.
