                                            Iâm Not Lazy, Iâm Just Tired of Tryingâ
When Burnout Looks Like Disobedience but Itâs Really Exhaustion
Bible Moment (The Message Translation)
"Come to me. Get away with me and youâll recover your life. Iâll show you how to take a real rest."
â Matthew 11:28 MSG
Real Talk:
Letâs clear the air: Youâre not lazy. Youâre just drained.
Youâve been carrying it allâresponsibility, family, calling, pressureâand somewhere along the way, your soul got tired.
Not your body. Your soul.
Itâs easy for people to say, âJust keep going,â but they donât see the nights you cried.
They donât know the weight of being obedient when youâre empty.
Some days youâre not rebellingâyouâre recovering.
God isnât mad at you for needing rest. Jesus took naps on boats, escaped crowds, and said ânoâ sometimes.
If the Savior needed stillness, so do you.
Youâre not quitting. Youâre healing.
Talk to God:
Jesus, Iâm tired. Not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. I donât want to give upâI just need space to breathe. Teach me how to rest without guilt, how to heal without hiding.
Final Thought:
Fatigue doesnât cancel your faith. Rest isnât rebellion. Pause, breathe, recoverâthen rise again.
