What do you do when you are weary?
I think this is an important question to know the answer to.
The answer will be different for each of us. That is why I like it; there is no "right" answer, there is only your answer.
I have learned my way into my answer:
- First off, I stop running around and I settle down and stop for a bit.
- I take a nap or make sure I get a good sleep every night for awhile.
- I exercise.
- I eat right.
- I journal.
- I sit by the fire or I sit on my porch.
- I just stop trying so hard for awhile.
- I almost always stop reading whatever part of the Bible I am trying to slog my way through … the book of Acts, or I and II Samuel … and I head to the Psalms.
I always head to the Psalms when I am weary.
And I let them pray for me.
I have never once failed to find "my voice" in the Psalms. It's amazing.
And not immediately, not quickly … but slowly and quietly, God refreshes my soul.
It never fails.
