On Being Weary
We have all been tired and weary more than a few times on this journey. There is a weariness that is more trying than being physically tired. Fear and fretting can feed into emotional weariness. I have been spiritually tired, carrying heavy burdens that only God and I knew about. The solution I have learned is to find new strength in grace, to find renewal in worship, to find strength in being quiet before the Father. I have also found new strength when someone spoke encouragement to me. May we all be that to each other.
Father, may I know that I am not the only tired one in the human family. My burdens are light compared to so many of my brothers and sisters. May I find someone, even now, to whom I can speak encouragement and strength into their lives.
