I have a battery powered toothbrush to brush my teeth. I have had it for a long time. I don't know that I had ever changed the batteries. Since I only use it for a few minutes each time I brush my teeth, I suppose it doesn't take too much energy.
 
I noticed a couple of days ago it didn't have the 'pep' I thought it used to have. "I'll change the batteries some day when it quits," I thought.
 
It didn't quit; it just had less zip!
 
I decided to change the batteries anyway. Wow! I can't believe how the toothbrush operates now. I have no idea when it started to run down!
 
Sometimes I wonder if our lives are like my toothbrush, we keep on running but in reality our 'batteries' have lost their charge. Do our spirits start to droop, but we keep on going anyway? I need God to restore my spirit each day. I want to ask for His Spirit to be added on to my own feeble spirit. I look to Him for guiding words and help for whatever my day might bring. I am going to ask that His Spriit might be united with your spirit, just for today! So that we might be recharged for the new day ahead.
 
"So I pray for you, that God who gives you hope will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in him. I pray that God will help you overflow with hope in him through the Holy Spirit's power within you."
