Are you weary?

  Of course most people can say from time to time that they are tired. Even kids get tired and need rest. But I am not talking about that kind of tired. I am talking about being weary and worn! I talk to so many friends that are battling things I wish I could just take from them. Of course I pray for them. I am talking about the weary and worn from this world beating us down. So much mean spirited people, so much hate, so much sadness. I am talking about the weary and worn so much you feel like you just cannot go on. The weary and worn where EVERY SINGLE bone in your body is tired. THAT is what I am talking about. It is easy to get into a funk and not be able to get out if we are not focusing on the right things. So, if you are the weary and worn I am talking about . Just plain tired out and struggling have I got good news for you.
       Many times we become weary and worn from trying to do life by ourselves. By being so prideful we think we can manage on our own. God never intended on us to do anything on our own. Goodness, isn't that why He sent Jesus! When you need to find your true JOY back just go to the scriptures. It is right there.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me all you who are weary and burdened , and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.

and my absolute favorite verse that has brought me so much comfort
2 Cor. 12:9
But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

  I know how you feel. I have been there. Especially when I was struggling with my health and during my pregnancy loses but many times I look and I was trying to do it all in my own strength. I find when I make time for prayer and bible study my life is so much better for it. God wants your time and after all He gives us can't we just give Him that. And we actually benefit from it. If you need prayer I would love to pray for you or your family. Just leave me a comment and I will add you to my prayer list during my prayer time. Speaking of prayer time for me sometimes that happens in the quite but sometimes not. I try to pray wherever I am at. Even my favorite spot- in the bathtub or while up rocking a baby. God bless you all and remember spread kindness because you never know what someone is going through.
