ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* YOUTHS: VESSELS OF GOD'S GRACE. *TOPIC:* APPROPRIATING GOD'S GRACE. *TEXT:* ISAIAH 40:29-31. 29. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31. but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. *TOPIC:* APPROPRIATING GOD'S GRACE. *THE MESSAGE:* The youths are full of strength, which is their glory (Prov. 20:29a). Young people are typically full of energy, vitality, and physical endurance, which is to their advantage. However, relying solely on human strength will lead to exhaustion and eventual failure. Scripture reminds us, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord (Zech. 4:6). To soar, run, and walk through life without growing weary or fainting, young people must draw from the grace of God, which is made available through Christ. His grace renews our strength daily and empowers us beyond natural limits. What are you using your strength for? Do not use it for evil purposes. Tap into the divine grace of God as a vessel for His purposes on earth. Let your youthfulness benefit you and those around you. *REFLECTION:* Use your strengths as a youth to glorify God. *PRAYER:* Lord, help me to make use of Your grace in all my activities. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* 2 TIMOTHY 2:21. "If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be instruments for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master, and prepared to do any good work." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* JEREMIAH 17-20.

Eve ing prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. ⏤ Psalm 55:22 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glancing of an eye when none but God is near. ⏤ Dwight L. Moody O Lord, You have taught us to cast our burdens upon You, with the assurance that You will sustain us. So, we come to You tonight with our burdens. Life is too hard for us. Our duties are too great for us. We have no power of our own to do the things we need to do. We can’t meet our responsibilities alone. We owe duties to each other in our home, to Your church, to society, to the state, to our friends, and to the world. We are in debt to everyone, even to those in distant lands who don’t know You. Who is sufficient for these things? We can’t carry the burden of our personal responsibilities alone. We have our burdens of duty, and temptation puts additional burdens on us. The world’s sorrow weighs heavily on our hearts. There are burdens that come from our circumstances. It’s hard for us to be holy. It’s hard for us to keep going day after day, year after year, in the often dreary routines of our tasks. It’s hard for us to endure life’s frictions and irritations—and always keep a sweet spirit. It’s hard for us to be patient with all kinds of people, in all sorts of trying experiences—never losing our temper, never giving in to exasperation. We have burdens that are hard to carry, daily crosses that are hard to bear. We could never do it without the privilege of casting them upon You. We don’t ask that these burdens be taken off our shoulders, because it may be that we need to bear them for the good of the world or our own growth. But we do ask that You sustain us and help us to walk beneath our load quietly and confidently, leaning on You. Help us, O God, so that we can bear our burdens without fainting, through Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/32/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
