There are moments in life when the weight feels unbearable—when exhaustion, grief, or fear press in so heavily that you don’t know how to take the next step. If you’ve ever felt like you’re at your breaking point, you are not alone. God’s Word offers strength for the weary, comfort for the hurting, and hope for the broken. Here are nine verses to hold on to when you feel you cannot go on.
