Is life wearing you down?

I’m tired.

I’m not just tired from working so much or from not getting enough sleep, but I’m tired because life is tiring.

When did life become day in and day out? When did life become complicated? I’m on this kick now trying to declutter my life. Maybe that will help? Maybe less things, less worries, and less people will help me not be so tired.

Lets face it though, sometimes it doesn’t matter what we do, life will always find a way to wear us down. Not because it’s how we are meant to be, but because we find it our sole duty to carry all our own burdens.

When we start feeling like this, it’s time to call in reinforcements; Jesus! Honestly we should have already called him, but we aren’t perfect. He does tell us to come to him when we are burdened and find rest for our soul, or that he can give us strength when we are weak, or to atleast cry out in prayer when our heart grows faint.

Its all right there in his words. In fact all the answers to life are in plan sight inside your bible. What an amazing gift God gave us. A guide book for life, with amazing stories of broken people, who kept faith and trusted God when life got the best of them. We can all relate to life being hard, and if we choose to we can all turn to him when life wears us down.

Even as someone who tries her hardest to follow Jesus, someone who gets up everyday and reads her bible, who proclaims God as the one and only, still needs reminding and reassurance. Life is hard, but I need to remind myself that being tired and worn down isn’t what life is all about. Slowing down, focusing on Jesus and giving him the things I can’t control will release those burdens from my hands.

I know what I need to do, now I just need to actually do it!
