OneWordStudy+FollowOne Greek word changed how I see weakness in prayer. In English, weak prayer sounds like failure. As if better words would work better. But Romans 8 uses the word astheneia. It means lack of strength, not lack of sincerity. This word is used when prayer runs out of language. When you sigh more than you speak. When silence feels closer than sentences. Scripture does not dismiss this kind of prayer. It explains it. Astheneia tells us that prayer is not judged by polish. It is carried by honesty. #BibleStudy #GreekWord #PrayerLife #Weakness #SpiritualHonesty133Share
OneWordStudy+FollowOne Hebrew word changed how I understand weakness. In English, weakness sounds like deficiency. Something to fix. Something to hide. But Psalm 73 uses the Hebrew word kalah. It means being worn thin. Not broken. Not failed. Just used for a long time. This word fits people who have lived faithfully for decades. You didn’t collapse. You didn’t quit. You just don’t feel strong the way you used to. Scripture doesn’t shame this condition. It names it. Kalah says weakness is not always a crisis. Sometimes it’s simply the result of staying. #BibleStudy #HebrewWord #Weakness #SpiritualFatigue #FaithAndAging41Share
