Rest

 Do you ever get so exhausted from the constant battles, you're exhausted to your very core? Mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically? To the point you tell God, I don't have any fight left in me? I need to go rest and You're on watch. I just can't anymore. 

There are just days I need to hide in the shelter of His wings. The last few days I'm hiding and letting Him renew me. It's been exhausting trying to surrender my will for His. It's been exhausting exchanging obedience for my desires. It's been exhausting pushing through the fear and doing things scared. Sometimes His burden doesn't feel light, because I'm trying to carry along my agenda too. Exercising my faith has been absolutely exhausting. I'm not alone. He promises rest in Matthew 11:28. 

There are moments in the Bible like Elijah being exhausted and resting in a cave before being sent back into the field. Moments where Moses was exhausted from lifting his hands in the battle, Aaron and Hur stepped in and kept his arms stretched high. Where even Jesus after being tempted for 40 days in the desert had angels tend to him and provide food as He rested. 

I'm positive once I've had my moments of reprieve I'll be ready to jump back into the battle but for now I'm resting. 

If you're exhausted, I understand and so does God. Rest, breathe in, breathe out, and know God will give you reprieve.

Blessings, Faith ❤️❤️❤️
