Morning Prayer for Wednesday – Isaiah 40:31
Introduction
Wednesday sits at the center of the week—a moment to pause and catch our breath. Some days we feel strong and steady, other days we wonder how to keep going. Isaiah gives us hope for both kinds of mornings: “Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles.” Morning prayer on Wednesday reminds us that strength is not found in striving but in resting in God’s care.
This prayer is for anyone who needs renewal today. Before diving back into work or worry, take time to wait on God. His strength is ready to meet you in the middle of the week.
Scripture
“But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
— Isaiah 40:31 (NRSV)
Reflection
The promise of Isaiah 40 isn’t that life will slow down, but that God will give us what we need to keep going. Waiting on the Lord isn’t idleness—it’s the choice to trust that His timing, His pace, and His power are better than our own. When we slow our hearts in prayer, we find that His strength quietly replaces our own.
Wednesday mornings can feel heavy because the week is neither new nor finished. Yet that’s where God often meets us most clearly—in the middle. Prayer turns the middle of the week into a place of renewal, a reminder that God’s mercy doesn’t run out halfway through.
If you feel tired this morning, you don’t need to push harder. Simply wait, breathe, and receive.
