"The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season unto thee, O house of Israel. When ye are weary he waketh morning by morning. He waketh mine ear to hear as the learned."
2 Nephi 7:4
This is a verse that Jacob is reading to us from Isaiah. His version of Isaiah and ours are a little bit different though. Here is the version from Isaiah 50:4:
"The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."
Pretty close, and could even just be different people transcribing what Isaiah said. The Book of Mormon version is the only one that says "when ye are weary he waketh morning by morning" though, and I really like that idea. Not that God isn't always there to talk to us and help us, but I like the sense that he is concerned for us when we are weary. :)
Let's be thankful for prophets who God has called to help us, especially when we are weary, and let us also be thankful that God is concerned about us when things are hard. His perspective is very different than ours, but he certainly cares when things are hard for us, even when we caused our own hardship. :) He truly loves us, and all he wants to do is help. He is there for us, morning by morning. Let's reach out to him in prayer, and invite him into our lives, and walk with him today.

Thanks for sharing this! I was trying to figure out the meaning of this verse and this was a beautiful way of putting it thank you!
