Worn out.
Exhausted.
Have you ever been here?
I’m not talking about needing a few hours of sleep; we’re talking soul tired.
Praying for monies to stretch into the next month, a loved one’s health to improve, a prodigal child to return. There are seasons and circumstances in life that tire us right down to the nitty-gritty of our being.
I have been blessed to start a Bible study penned by author/actor/evangelist Priscilla Shirer, The Armor of God. It’s been eye- opening. It has shed light on struggles I have. The momma of them all: being soul-tired.
The evil one schemes against me. He knows exactly where and how to target me.
One of the best ways to get Holli? Wear her out.
Wear her down to a bloody nub with constant running, limited sleep, and worry.
I am suiting up, and learning the battle plan.
“I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word. Psalm 119:81
I’m fist- pumping over the confirmation that David felt worn out, too. Isn’t it affirming when we find a mirror of our words or feelings in the Word? The part that tells me where my action is though, is the “but”. I have to put hope in the Word. I have to apply it. While waiting, I need to throw myself in scripture. My answer’s in the “but”.
