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.
