Fast 2026 - Day 20

Don’t be Weary

Galatians 6:9   Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up (faint).

The Greek word for faint means “to relax, to weaken or loosen the grip and then to let go.” Satan will work tirelessly at attempting to wear you down and tire you out so that you lose hope and let go of the promises God has made you—so that you give up and quit!  So you ask, what do I do if I’m already weary?  I’m glad you asked for the level of weariness described above is complete exhaustion and if you were already at that level of weariness, you wouldn’t be doing this fast in  Pursuit of God!  You may be tired, thirsty, and beyond ready for God to refresh your soul but you still have fight in you!  You are still here!  So, here are a few things you can do to strengthen yourself until…

• Don’t battle alone—call someone!  We need each other!  Remember how Moses grew weary in intercession, while Joshua led the Israelite army in battle.  Every time Moses lifted his arms as he prayed, the Israelites would be winning the battle but when his arms grew tired and weary and he just couldn’t hold them up anymore, the battle would turn and the Israelites would begin to lose the battle.  Because Aaron and Hur were watching and paying attention, they saw this and they joined in the battle by holding up Moses arm until!!!  Until when?  Until the battle was won!  It wasn’t just one fighting that battle!  It took everyone doing their part.  
  
  
• Refresh Others!  Proverbs 11:25 says those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Take some time and pray for someone else that’s struggling; encourage  others; give something away to someone else in need; for a time, take your focus off of your battle and help someone else in theirs.  Pray for others and know that God will move others to pray for you! 
• Pray prayers of Agreement.  We are commanded to pray always but where one can put a thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand to flight—this is multiplied power!  This can be done in person or on the phone.  Matthew 18:19-20 says,  “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.  For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.

Father, according to Your Word, if we do not faint and quit in doing good, we will reap a harvest!  You know every battle and you know we are but flesh!  Strengthen us today and we are determined not to quit!  Help us to stand with one another and to refresh others knowing that we will also be refreshed!  In Jesus Name, Amen!
