Are You Getting Burned Out Trying To Earn God's Grace or Are You Resting In Him and Allowing Him To Be Your Strength Where You are Weak?

When a person is burned out, they are tired, they lose interest, and they are frustrated.   Burnout can cause a person to go into a place of depression.    It’s hard to do anything when you are burned out, especially worship.    Understand, God does not want you burnt out.   He doesn’t want you tired and frustrated.   He wants you to recognize and understand that you are full of His vigor and His strength.    He wants you to understand that when you are weak, He is strong.   

When a person loses hope, they lose their interest.   They abandon their belief.   Don’t allow weariness to cause you to abandon your belief in God and His Word.    Sometimes the process of waiting can seem very long.   However, your hope and trust has to be in the fact that God knows all and He is able to make “His grace” abound towards you.  God’s grace is His undeserved favor.   It’s not based on anything that we have done or can do.   So don’t get burned out trying to earn God’s grace.   Stay in a place of rest and worship and allow God to do “in you and through you” what He desires to do.   

“Father help us to recognize that it is in You that we live, breathe, and have our being.   Father help us to stay focused on You.   To obey Your Word and to do Your will.   Father we yield to You right now.  We give You the right-of-way.  The right to have Your way in our lives right now.   Father forgive us for trying to do things in our own strength.  For we know that You are the strength of our lives.   Forgive us for trying to hold on to those things that You have already told us to release.   Father we ask right now that You take the leading role.   That You lead us, guide us, and direct us in the way that You would have us to go.    Father we give the reigns of our lives completely and totally to You.    We thank You for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.    Now Father we surrender completely by letting go of all the things we have tried so hard to hold on to.    Father we ask that You use our lives for Your glory in Jesus name.  Amen”
