How do I Deal with Burnout?

» by sam in: Our Thoughts

Wow, God has been working double time and pouring out in my life. It is really amazing to watch him at work and answering prayers. God is SOOOO GOOD..

Some of the answered prayers in my life has been a major increase in work. I work from home and love it, and lately I have had more work than anyone person could handle. I have been getting very little rest and working sometimes 16-18 hours in a single day.

So how do I prevent burning out?

This morning it is as if God just popped me in the face as I opened his word and said "HEAR, YOU NEED TO READ THIS"

I have 2 main bibles I use and enjoy. One as you know is the living bible, which is a paraphrase but I really love the way it reads and over time I will continue to add scripture from that bible.

The 2nd is Charles Stanley's Life Principles bible. I really believe that the Word of God is living, breathing and as pertainant today as it was yesterday and days long gone by. 

Charles Stanley is an amazing man of God and he puts things forth in his bible that are VERY applicable to you and I.

Today I landed on page 822 and it was "HOW DO I DEAL WITH BURNOUT?"

Last night, once again I was up till 3 in the morning working on todays presentation for my business. But Last night I was feeling the burnout sensation as I was very tired…

SO….

Turning to Isaiah 40, Versus 28-31

Have you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

He give power to the weak, And to those who have no might he increases strength. 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,

But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Lord, renew my strength today, help me to NOT burnout with all that is going on. Please put people in my paths that can help and take some of the work load off of me. Thank you Lord for the increase of my territory and blessing my business. Thank you for answered Prayers Lord. You are SO awesome and I love you with all my heart, all my mind and all my soul.
