Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
– Isaiah 35:3-4

There is something profoundly true in what I lived: A testimony when my body was limited, in my spirit I knelt. And God met me there, not as a distant listener, but as the One who understood me when words failed and people couldn’t. That kind of closeness isn’t learned in comfort; it’s forged in surrender. Isaiah’s words take on flesh in my story. Feeble knees weren’t a metaphor for me they were real. And yet those knees became a place of strength, not weakness. Prayer wasn’t a posture of defeat; it was how I stood again. Isaiah 35 is the chapter I read in my healing process it really moved me. What moves me most is this: even when I couldn’t speak, God spoke for me. He translated my need when writing wasn’t enough. He stirred others to act when understanding was missing. That is the Shepherd’s care, intimate, attentive, personal. My testimony gives weight to that promise: “Be strong, fear not, He will come and save you.” Not someday. Not abstractly. There I am, in the wheelchair, on my knees, in the quiet. It’s a memory so sacred to me. My life gently strengthens my weak hands, my feeble knees and feet, making me strong only because God is always with me and with those, I meet. My heart naturally blesses everyone and every situation I encounter. When I witness people being healed and lives changing for the better, it fills me with an incredible joy no one can take away, and in that joy, I know the Lord and angels are celebrating with them.
There are seasons when our strength is not in standing tall, but in kneeling low. God does not measure us by how steady our steps are, but by how willing our hearts are to trust Him. When words fail and understanding feels distant, He remains near, listening, guiding, and speaking on our behalf. Weakness does not push God away; it draws Him closer.
Father God, You see the weak hands and the trembling knees. You hear the prayers spoken in silence. Strengthen us where we feel small and remind us that You are near. Thank You for being our voice when we have none and praise You and give You all the honor and glory for being our strength when we cannot stand in Jesus precious name Amen.
