The Spiritual Leech of Exhaustion
Exodus 34:21 NLT You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working, even during the seasons of plowing and harvest.
The Spiritual Leech of Exhaustion
Sleep is one of the pillars of health. There are many people that are not getting enough sleep and rest. We are supposed to have between 7-9 hours of sleep per day.
During sleep, our body is revived and rejuvenated in preparation for the next day. Healing takes place as the body shuts itself down temporarily. Your immune system recharges. Your major organs are restored. Old cells are being replaced with new ones. Your mind relaxes and orders its thoughts, creating a healthy mental state.
Your rest is important for studying for Word of God. It’s important in your spiritual warfare as well.
Matthew 11:28-30 The Message Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.

Prayer For a Tired Soul
Heavenly Father, my heart is heavy and I am so tired. I am weak and lack many things. I am tired of trying to feel invincible and being ignored. Tired of being sad and needing help. I am tired of self-pity. I am tired of doing things in my own strength.
Lord, you give me strength. You refresh me. Renew my spirit. Direct me that I take time off for your word and to rest properly. Bless me oh Lord, that I may have the courage to refuse working and studying when I should be worshiping you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
