Life isn't easy. We've probably all heard that or something similar. Whether we are trying to make money or are fighting to make the world a better place, we can wear ourselves out. To be effective in all we do, we need to be sure that we put our trust in and draw strength from the right source: God!
If we chase earthly riches and trust in our own ways to solve the injustices of the world, then we will get worn out. We will become tired and may even withdraw from doing what we like or need to do. Instead of letting ourselves get to the point of exhaustion, we need to rest and to find strength. God is the one that can provide strength. He can multiply our efforts. He is the only source of rest and true redemption. We don't have to be run down and worn out. We can find care and compassion in God!
Don't allow yourself to be run down and worn out. Turn to God to find rest and restoration!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being both a source of strength and a place of rest. Help me to trust in You and to be prepared to make a difference for Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
