Do you not know? Have you not heard: The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power.
( Isaiah 40 : 28-29 )

LORD, make me an instrument
of thy peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light and
where there is sadness, joy, 
O DIVINE MASTER
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal 
life.
St. Francis of Assisi
