Weary.....

I'm weary.....and I have a feeling the battle has just begun. I'm weary of my surroundings, weary of smiling when I want to cry, weary of watching loved ones hurt needlessly, weary from watching society, namely "Christians", turn a blind eye to their surroundings for the sake of tolerance, weary from the constant battle between diet and exercise in order to be healthy, weary from the quest for youth, weary from watching so many rebellious adult children (rebelling against everything...God, parents, authority), ...... I'm just plain weary. My weariness leaves me two choices (1) Wallow in it OR (2) Pray through it! The verse I'm clinging to is Galatians 6:9 which says, "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time, we will reap if we do not grow weary".....
Dear Lord, help me not to grow weary and to seek your face during this time!

I'm so sorry you are feeling so weary of things. I know as we travel on this journey we have times when we think we just can't do it anymore...but God is good and even when we can not trace His hand...we can trust His heart. I am praying for you.

Sue, goodness gracious, haven't we ALL felt your weariness at many times in our Christian walks. But even in this time of weariness and apathy seemingly all around you, YOU are light and a joy to this planet! GOD is using YOU to be that one light to many who are lost and feeling weary themselves, only they don't have Jesus and you do! Press in, press on and march forward. During these times, God is doing a work in you that you cannot see but when you get to the other side of it, you will glorify HIM even more for what He has done. Now....go rest up and get ready to greet another new day with a new sense of excitement in Jesus! I love you sister friend!
