**Job 6:13** — *"Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?"*
Job speaks these words from the ash heap — not in doubt of God, but in raw honesty about himself. His resources are spent. His strength has no more to offer. The Hebrew beneath "success" carries the sense of *tushiyyah* — sound wisdom, effective capability. And Job confesses: it is gone.
This is not failure of faith. This is the threshold where self-sufficiency ends and covenant dependence begins.
Scripture reminds us that God does not wait for our reserves to refill before drawing near. He meets the empty-handed. He dwells with the depleted. Isaiah 40:29 testifies: *"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."*
By grace, the moment you have nothing left to offer is often the moment God has the most room to work.
Let us reflect on what it means to be held when we cannot hold ourselves.
