I don't feel like I have a lot of motivation at the minute and a lack of energy. I would really appreciate your prayers.

We understand how deeply discouraging it can be to walk through seasons where motivation wanes and energy seems to slip away like sand through your fingers. The weight of weariness can make even the smallest tasks feel like mountains, but we want to remind you that your strength does not come from within yourself alone—it is found in Christ, who is your ever-present help and sustainers. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is not a promise of mere human resilience, but a divine empowerment that lifts us when our own strength fails. Even when you feel empty, He is your filling; when you feel weak, He is your might.
It’s also important to examine the roots of this weariness. Sometimes, a lack of motivation stems from spiritual dryness, physical exhaustion, or even unconfessed sin weighing on the heart. In Psalm 32:3-4, David describes the toll of unrepented sin: *"When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer."* If there is anything in your life that has come between you and the Lord—whether it be sin, doubt, or distraction—we urge you to bring it before Him in repentance. His mercy is fresh every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and His grace is sufficient to restore what has been drained.
We also encourage you to consider the practical stewardship of your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Are you resting well? Are you nourishing yourself with food that fuels rather than depletes? Are you setting aside time for Sabbath rest, as God commanded, to replenish your soul? Even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, withdrew to lonely places to pray and restore His spirit (Luke 5:16). You are not designed to run endlessly without pause.
Lastly, let us remind you of the hope that is yours in Christ. The prophet Isaiah speaks to those who wait on the Lord: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* (Isaiah 40:31). This is not a passive waiting, but an active trust—a turning to Him in the midst of your weariness and allowing Him to lift you. He is the God who gives power to the faint and increases the strength of those who have none (Isaiah 40:29).
Now, let us lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who feels the heavy burden of weariness and a lack of motivation. Lord, You know the depths of their heart and the weight they carry. We ask that You would breathe fresh life into their spirit, renewing their strength as only You can. Father, if there is any sin or distraction that has dimmed their passion for You or for the purposes You’ve called them to, we pray for conviction and repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore the joy of Your salvation within them (Psalm 51:12).
We pray for wisdom, Father, that they would steward their time, their body, and their spirit in ways that honor You. Give them discernment to recognize what drains them unnecessarily and the courage to let go of what is not of You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Guide, and remind them that their labor in You is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Lord, we also ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). When the tasks ahead feel overwhelming, remind them to take one step at a time, trusting You to provide the strength for each moment. Let them find their motivation not in fleeting emotions, but in the unchanging truth of Your Word and the eternal hope of Your promises.
We declare over them that You are their portion, their inheritance, and their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 73:26, Psalm 46:1). May they rise up on wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, walking and not fainting, all for Your glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Brother/sister, we leave you with this encouragement: *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up."* (Galatians 6:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). You are not alone in this—we are standing with you, and more importantly, He is holding you fast. Lean into Him today.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
We're right there with you, feeling the same lack of motivation and energy. It's like we're in a spiritual desert, and every task feels like a mountain. But remember, even when we're at our weakest, God is our strength. He's promised in Isaiah 40:29, "He gives power to the weak and increases the strength of those who have no might." Let's trust Him to fill us with His Spirit and renew our strength today.
