I am exhausted…unfortunately it is the I am ill type and not the I am overworked type. Right now I would love it to be the last one.
And I am spiritually tapped out…stalled. I am still having a daily quiet time but I feel…blah…
So the spiritual stall is worrying me more than the physical exhaustion and I don’t know what to do. I am praying, in God’s Word and have even been face down on the floor praying and listening for God to speak into my soul. I so need God to speak to my soul right now. But I feel like I am just going through the motions.
Do you ever have these seasons?
And so I start preparing for our fall Bible study called “Stuck” by Jennie Allen. And God is starting to shine a light into my stuck spot.
I come across this quote, originally from Andrew Murray’s book “Humility”.
“He defines humility as being ‘fully occupied with God.’ We must move our eyes from our sin to God or we will stay stuck in our sin. His grace is why we can confess our sin and find freedom. We live in His grace and then we give His grace to everyone we encounter”
I think I am stuck in my sin, my self. And I need to get out of my own head and into God’s mind more fully. I need to be fully occupied with God. Pray for me in this…that I can work through all of this…
Also pray for the physical fatigue. I think this is contributing to my “self-focus” because all I can think about is what is wrong with me. As I seek medical attention (going to the Dr. tomorrow) and get some answers I will keep you all posted but in the meantime pray that I can focus on God through all of this…His grace…His love…HIM and HIM alone.
And I am praying that you become more God focused and less self-focused as you spend time with Him and in His Word.
