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.
