Tired

[DawnTillery]

I am curious as to what works for you when you become weary?

 

[Sketcher]

I dunno. I've found that it becomes a cycle. Things usually pick up again when I'm both in fellowship and fresh from a special event like a retreat or conference or something (at my age, they are plentiful). Of course, there's also just getting so fed up with yourself that you just put out an extra effort to change - stepped up prayer, stepped up Bible reading, stepped up obedience, etc. Having other believers pray for you is another good way to snap out of it.

Hello DawnTillery.

I get more frustrated than weary. But weary sure comes around also.

Two things come to mind. First, being around other Christians helps. Felt good this past Sunday after talking with a lady who lost her husband a few years ago but not her faith. Knew them both, he was strong in his faith. Good role model.

Second, just wait. As twistedsketch mentioned, things go in cycles.

I'm not much for proof texting, things get twisted out of context easily. But perhaps this section of scripture may apply.

Romans 5:1-5 ESV - Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Pax

Hi Dawn

I usually pray, ask others to pray for me, read the Bible and listen to excellent worship music (wow that really does it)

peace be with you

I agree with listening to worship music, but I also like to spend time in adoration, and prayer. It will pass.

I'm always so very weary, so I can relate, but perhaps I can share this article with you,

I always find it a blessing with my weariness.

Grab a blanket find some trees and lay down and read the Bible.

I read a devotional (I have 2 sent to my email every day), listen to Christian programming either online or on the radio, read my Pray through the Bible devotional (VERY GOOD devotional...I would suggest it to anyone), pray the rosary, or just sit outside for awhile and open my heart up to God's creation.

I pray to be renewed in Jesus, and listening to Christian music helps alot; not just gospel, but also Christian rap, rock, metal, etc. Music just has that affect on me. Picking up my Bible helps as well.
