Sometimes you just come home, sit down, and put your head in your hands. That's all you can do after a hard day at work or a long day of classes and you wonder, "How am I going to get through this week?" Life weighs on us and sometimes it is hard to pull through the week as joyful or courageous as we first started. When I am feeling like this I find that the best cure to a tired mind and body is a spiritual renewal with the Word of God! Below are some of my favorite Bible verses to get me through a particularly wearisome week.

1. Isaiah 40:28

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, 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."

2. Lamentations 3:21-23

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
