Susanna Wesley's Waiting - Wesleyan (Isaiah 40:31)
Susanna Wesley had 19 children; nine died in infancy. Her husband was often absent, sometimes imprisoned for debt. Her home burned down twice.

"They shall renew their strength"—Susanna needed daily renewal, and she practiced receiving it. So can you.
