A Prayer for When You Feel Exhausted

This one is for those who are too tired and worn out to think of the words to pray. Some of you know what that’s like. Some know it on an almost daily basis. You can pray these words when you can’t think of any of your own:

Dear Father,
On days like today when I feel exhausted
I feel like I can’t even pray.
And I don’t mean to complain.
Because there are so many who are
less blessed than I am.
The time comes when a person easily recognizes
That running on empty is not a good thing.
When I have nothing left to give
And nothing left to offer,
Then I know that I’ve been using my own strength
Instead of relying on Yours.
Why do I do this when You are the God who never tires?
Help me, Jesus. I need You so much.
May I learn to lean on You consistently
So I can soar like the eagles
without even a hint of weariness.
May this be the evidence of Your Almighty Power.
Amen” (Anonymous).
