Tired and dried out down to the soul

I think we all been here. Burned out by any other name is just as wearing. It can also happen in our faith life. Whether it is just the same old routine or just been doing much for too long, our faith walk can also get old and wearing. I think this is the most dangerous place to get burned out. Not only is your faith at stake but our faith is the rock on which our life stands. Sometimes it is just a matter of getting away for a while or changing your routine. It is definately is a time for more prayer and reliance on God. He is the perfecter and author of our faith. That's hard to remember. It's hard to do when most of us think everything depends on us personally. If something is going wrong, it either is my fault or my problem to fix. That doequitets help in a lot of cases but when it comes to faith, it is time to hand it over to God to handle. Work like it depends on you, pray like it depends on God. I don't know if that phrase is entirely right but it rings at least close. Do your best and realize that so much is beyond us and is in God's hands. Even if it is just taking 5 minutes of quiet time for prayer.
