Have you ever just sat down and vented... "IT IS ENOUGH! NOW LORD TAKE MY LIFE."
IT IS ENOUGH.....
The marriage struggle
The job search
The bills piling up
The addiction that is consuming
The physical and sexual abuse
The anger
The fear
The doubt
The exhaustion
Self-Pity
Empty
Challenged
Isolated
Paranoid
Burnout is real.
Emotions are wonderful servants, but poor leaders. Emotions lead us to sit down and pray that we might die.
Elijah in 1 kings 19: 4 displays a picture of a depressed journey. Elijah was burned out and went down in the dumps of self pity, he complained of no recovery and prayed that he might die.
Elijah allowed his circumstances to take over.
No matter how dark the night God is on the other side. No matter how long the hallway, God is around the corner. And even though you may not be able to see Him, He is with you in the midst of the dark night.
Remember your dark circumstance is God's way of building your character. It is His way of preparing you for bigger and greater things!
God was only an angel away from Elijah. Lets look at 1 King 19:6 "Suddenly an Angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."
God has an angel ready to restore you....
God uses others to help RENEW your perspective, RELEASE your past and REMEMBER your purpose!
God has a better reality beyond your BURN OUT.
Lord may you bless today and open eyes to see beyond the circumstance and into the eternal perspective. Please send an angel to the one that has sat down and cried out.
In Jesus name
Amen
Allow God to work, do not give up!
