Buned out and needing strength

[3FingeredMonkey]

I posted occassionally over the past couple of months of the challenges my mother has faced and the challnges and hopes from my new job.

To put it plainly , I'm burned out.

My mother has plateaued and work has become a cesspool of Machiavellian designs.

I am trying to stay strong , yet my strength has waivered. I seem to live at work at recently 70 -80 hour weeks are not uncommon.

Recently ,I started a project that is a fund raiser and community outreach to veterans that will take place July 23rd. I know it will be rewarding and am doing my best to keep my heart and focus on what this is really about. It just has become so draining.

I pray for guidance and the success of the event not for me, but for those I am trying to help.

Plus , while this is going on , some of my fellow managers are playing one against another to advance. I desperately desire to stay out of the fray , but since I have been noted by corporate for doing a good job, I am the main target.

Add to the fact that my wife and daughter are out of town , I feel weak. And tempted. They are my checks and balances.

I pray for strength and guidance and rest.

Father God, I ask that you strengthen your son in this situation.
Please strengthen him not only with wisdom, guidance and discernment,
but also with the ability to let things go when it is nighttime and he needs to sleep. Please help this situation turn out according to your mighty plan. In Jesus name. Amen. Father, thank you for being you!

Praying in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

Heavenly Father I am praying that you would give strength and guidance to your child. Lord I also pray that you would give refreshment to every area of weariness your son is experiencing. Lord, I pray according to

Matthew 11:28 -30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

and I ask Lord that you blanket your son with your shalom peace as well in the name of the Lord Savior and Redeemer. Amen

Lord I ask in Jesus name that you fill my brother with your power and presence. I pray he would stay in your presence, and stray neither to the left nor to the right. I pray you pour out your peace and Love upon his and his family's lives, that they might have your strength and endurance. I ask for your favor to be poured out on his life, as a reward for running the race you've set before him. We thank you Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
Peace be with you

Actually feeling rested today . Also was encouraged by receiving more confirmations from different Veterans Groups that plan on being in attendance , including some political leaders who can make a difference for veterans.

Still a long way to go to pull this event off , but I am feeling strengthened and renewed.

To all the Veterans out there reading this , First ...THANK YOU !
Second, feel free to message me with any questions about the event.

Still little change with my mother, but she is doing well atm. I am just coming to a place of acceptance that she will most likely never be the same again , but grateful for where she is at and that I still have her.

Still missing wife and daughter. Talked to them last night and they are fine. Never thought I'd miss them being in the way so much. Especially when I go to bed.

They are having a wonderful time with her family which is great .

For as much trouble as I give Donna ( my wife) , teasing her that I need a vacation from her , its not much fun being home alone after a few days. Granted first day or so was nice, but I have found out that I don't do too well being alone after a while ... guess my secret is out ... I love my wife !

 

[heavensangel1964]

I am praying for this special intention!

May Our Sweet, Almighty Father God's Will Be Done!

AMEN!

Praying for your continued success.

In tears tonight. Your prayers have lifted me and all i can see is how unworthy I've been,

Its a rough night , can''t sleep . Miss my best friend ... my wife. Attacks at work have gotten worse , and I feel as if I'm cracking. on top of it all , in my head-strong desire to help veterans , especially those victims of PTSD , I have become one myself.

I , too, am a veteran. While I never saw combat, I saw the results of it as a medic in the Trauma / Pedi - Trauma unit. The past few nights , I have awoken in a cold sweat relieving those nightmares.. awaking crying.

I have not done that in a few years. I have not had such a hard time since my hand injury , that led me to this forum in 2005. I am broken and feel as if I have reached my limit.

I know the Lord will not give me more than I can handle, but I don't see how I can take much more.

Please pray fervently and soon. I can't stand seeing the faces of the past and still feeling their pain .
Honestly, I believe this is the lonliest I have felt since meeting the Lord .
