A Tired Soul

Have you ever felt that way? That you are so everlastingly tired, your brain doesn't want to function, you wonder if you can even put one foot in front of the other? I have at several trying times in my life. I remember when my husband and I gave birth to our stillborn daughter. It seemed so hard to get up in the morning, to go on with my days when I had so looked forward to the birth of this little one. I cried so many tears that sometimes I wondered whether I would have any left. I think that "a tired soul" is a good way to describe this feeling. You are in such a place that you don't know if God is there anymore. Your faith is at a low ebb and you wonder whether you will ever have that sweet communion with the Lord again. You feel that no one understands what you are going through. The only thing you can do is cling to those promises from the bible and sometimes you just go through the day reciting one that helps over and over because that is the only thing that brings comfort. For me it was this one; "For all things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose". I would say that verse to myself 100 times a day, every time I would cry I would say it again and again until the tears subsided.
When you are going through a time of having a tired soul, remember that God is with you always and He will be there even when you don't "feel" Him there. He will bring you through to the other side. He is faithful. Rest in Him. Praise God!
Till next time......
