I'm Tired

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NIV

I'm tired. Aren't you tired? I'm tired. My spirit is tired. I have physical energy for days but my heart is burdened. I try not to let it interfere with my obligations but it's hard. It takes every ounce of my being to keep running. Yeah, I'm tired.

And no, a quick prayer will not magically lift my weary soul. It's not a mythical potion like coffee. It's a process. It's letting God know, hey, today I'm tired. Give me strength to make it through my work. Hey God, I'm still tired. Give me strength to do this one thing. It's telling him how you feel. God's not afraid to hear it. In fact, he already knows and wants you to admit it. Then the healing process can begin.

So yes, God can restore a weary heart. And he will. Give it time. God will be there for as long as it takes.
