A Prayer for Exhaustion

A Prayer for Exhaustion “I am too tired”—you might be too tired to focus, too tired to sleep, too tired to “catch up” on all the things you mean to do. It’s the kind of deep-seated exhaustion that only sets in after burning at both ends for so many days, weeks, months in a row. And despite your best attempt to clear space in your schedule and get enough sleep at night, you can’t seem to shake the exhaustion. Here’s a gentle little reminder for today: take a deep breath, tired friend. You don’t have to will yourself into working from a store of energy that you don’t have. But you do have an invitation—an open door to come to God, your refuge, and to find rest in him.
