By Keri Eichberger

“The Sovereign LORD is my power.” – Habakkuk 3:19

“I’m uninterested in singing the identical outdated ‘drained’ tune,” I confessed to my buddy Chelsey final week. And he or she wasn’t the primary to listen to this tune fall from my annoyed lips. I’ve felt exhausted since I can’t bear in mind when. Did it start when the twins had been born, boosting our household of 5 to a full home of seven? Or was it once I turned forty, and my physique started to ache in all types of latest locations whereas my hormones whacked out with loopy recent flips and dips, crashing my vitality round proper with them? Or, possibly it’s merely the compounding years of overstuffed schedules and overcrowded calendars, inflicting a sluggish and regular, put on down of my fragile physique, soul, and spirit. All are amounting to bottom-out exhaustion. And with no signal of aid. In my world anyway. As a result of who am I kidding, I’m not getting any youthful, the twins have 13 plus years left at house. And actually, the fact is, there’ll at all times be one thing. I do know you’re feeling that.

I got here throughout Habakkuk 3:19 in my try and refuel my sunken power and journal out these ideas in my morning quiet time. And what spoke to me is that this…

The Lord’s management is my power. After I’m worn down from attempting to regulate conditions, folks, their hearts, and responses (my youngsters primarily)–and I’m depleted of power–I regain power by releasing management again to God. I reclaim his power by acknowledging that I’m not in management. Sure, I’ve been losing vitality whereas I’ve assumed management. Sabotaging myself of the power I’m determined for. The sovereign Lord (the God that’s really in management), he’s my power. As a result of he strengthens me as I let this fact, the reality of his sovereignty, leak into my life, penetrate my coronary heart, cowl my ideas, and circulation by means of all my circumstances that I’m attempting to regulate and play God of. My self-controlled environment all of the whereas put on me down.

It occurred to me that almost all of my exhaustion stemmed from my relentless try to regulate my swirling circumstances as an alternative of resting in a gradual, sturdy–but typically brisk–stroll of God’s will for my life.

Belief me, I do know from private day-in-and-out expertise that a variety of your busyness you’ll be able to’t budge. However you’ll be able to shift the main focus of your coronary heart within the midst of what’s carrying down. And so can I.

Once we’re past drained, our our bodies really feel frail and fragile. Our souls are weighed down with an extended season of struggling and discouragement. Once we are flat out exhausted and really feel the burden press deeper with no aid to be seen on the seen horizon, and a sliver of power appears unimaginable to return by, we have to bear in mind that it’s the sovereign Lord who’s our power. I want to recollect it proper now.

Buddy, along with me in the present day, will you launch your cares in your present season to his management? Think about and replicate on each element that’s weighing you down at this very second, and communicate your belief in him over every concern. Your belief that each little bit is in his fingers. And permit the reality of his love and management to revive power to your soul as you relaxation your coronary heart in his unconditional care. The extra you launch your load to him, the extra you’ll really feel the load lighten. As he carries you sooner or later at a time, one sovereign step at a time. Till ultimately you might be free. Free from the heavy chains of your tough section.

It’s true we are able to’t assure how lengthy every weary section will linger. However relaxation assured, we most actually can assure God will at all times carry, help, and maintain us as we launch management and the heaviness to him and relaxation within the power of his almighty sovereignty.

Let’s pray:

Lord, I come to you exhausted. Weary and worn down. And I want your power. God, I don’t know when what’s carrying me down will finish. However I do know that you just love me. I do know that you’re in management. And if I can simply acknowledge that you’re in management, and never me, then I can launch the burden, little by little, ounce by ounce, and relaxation in your care. After which regain some power. Assist me relaxation on this fact. That my power is in you and who you might be. Sovereign. Sure, my power is within the fact of your loving, sovereign management. I’m so grateful that you’re carrying me together with your love, management, and power. I’m grateful that your relaxation is at all times awaiting me due to it. Assist me relaxation in your energy. Assist me relaxation in your love. Assist me relaxation in you. In your Almighty identify, Amen.
