PRAYER WHEN I AM EXHAUSTED
LORD, I am so tired. I feel that I have given all I have to give, and I am completely empty. Please restore my energy, my hope, and my enthusiasm. Take my discouragement and fling it far from me. Help me to remember that I work for you and that you will reward me if I persevere.
Thank you that you do not tire as I do, and your reservoir of love is never depleted. Please let your compassion, kindness, and joy flow into me. Refresh me as
I spend these quiet moments in prayer with you. Help me to borrow from your strength now -- I feel sapped of the ability to do anything for anyone. Fill up my heart with goodness so that it can once again overflow to others. I thank you for carrying me through this time of
weariness. I ask this in the name of your Son Jesus.
Amen.
"I said to myself, 'I am completely worn out;
my time has been wasted.
But I did it for the LORD God,
and he will reward me."
Isaiah 49:4
