I ran across this prayer and thought I’d share it. Sometimes, you can borrow the words of others when you don’t have words of your own to pray. Maybe some of you reading this can borrow these words to express your own deep exhaustion:
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” (Rachel Wojo).
As usual, I like to give credit where credit is due. I’m posting a link to the original post, so you can follow or read more:
