Have you ever been tired...really tired...as in "weary to the bone" tired? It happens to all of us. Have you ever been so tired you can't sleep? I have been there, too.
There's another kind of tired in this life. It's the kind that makes us say, "Come quickly, Lord. This old world is wearing me out."
As long as my heart is beating, I trust His purpose for me here. So how do I handle being tired? I learn as I lean on Him even more. In weariness, we rely on His strength. In weakness, we glorify Him as He carries us. In suffering, we are more grateful for His blessings. In struggles, we embrace His hope.
One of my favorite songs says:
"Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand. I am tired. I am weak. I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light; Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home." (Thomas A. Dorsey)
Of course, I don't enjoy being tired..or weak...or weary...or struggling. Yet the reminder of His Presence shapes my perspective. Knowing that He is with me, carries me and leads me makes this journey more positive and purposeful. I will rest in Him as He restores my life with His love.♥~thl
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 28>31
