As much as I've been trying this past week to keep my head above water, I've been drowning in my sins. And today I'm fed up with it all. I'm exhausted from being pulled down, dragging around all these emotions that I had stuffed into a bag.
So how do I fix this??
Whenever anyone struggles spiritually, the problem lies usually in the lacking of one (or both) area(s): Reading the Word and Prayer. My struggle has always been more of the latter. You know, it's definitely in times like these when I feel the full effects of the need for a good balance. You can't have one without the other. In my case, I consistently read the Bible but lack in prayer. Without prayer though, you're merely shoving knowledge down your throat and not making much practical use of it. That's currently where I'm at. I'm merely reading the words- hearing what Apostle Paul has to say through his letters but not quite listening.
I wouldn't call this burning out, but it's definitely a challenge that I need to overcome. God, help me to fix this "just enough" attitude. I've been giving You less than my best when You deserve all of me and more.
