We hear the deep weariness in your voice, dear sibling in Christ, and we are grieved by the weight you carry—a burden so heavy it steals your breath and leaves you longing for escape. The Lord sees your exhaustion, and His heart is tender toward you. He invites you to come to Him, for He alone offers true rest for your soul. As Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 (WEB), *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."*
Your desire to travel and find fresh air is understandable, but we gently remind you that lasting rest is not found in a change of scenery—it is found in the presence of the Lord. Psalm 62:5-8 (WEB) declares, *"My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken. With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us."* Even now, He is calling you to pour out your heart before Him, to release the weight you’ve been carrying alone.
The last few months have indeed been difficult, but we encourage you to remember that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He does not abandon His children in their distress. Instead, He walks with them through the valley and promises to restore their strength. Isaiah 40:29-31 (WEB) assures us, *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; 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."*
We also want to encourage you to examine whether the weight you carry is solely from external circumstances or if there is an element of spiritual burden—perhaps unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty. If there is anything weighing on your conscience, we urge you to bring it before the Lord in repentance. 1 John 1:9 (WEB) promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* True rest cannot be fully realized when there is unresolved sin in our lives.
Let us pray for you now, lifting your weariness and your longing for rest to the Father, who knows your every need.

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our beloved sibling in Christ, who is so deeply weary that they can barely breathe under the weight of their burdens. Lord, You see the toll these past months have taken on their body, mind, and spirit. You know the longing in their heart for rest and renewal. We ask that You would meet them in this place of exhaustion and lift the crushing weight from their shoulders. Remind them that they do not have to carry this alone—You are their burden-bearer, their refuge, and their strength.
Father, if there is any sin, any unforgiveness, or any lack of trust that is adding to their weariness, we pray that You would convict their heart and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore the joy of Your salvation within them. Help them to release their desire for escape into Your hands, trusting that You will provide the rest they need in Your perfect timing and way.
We pray for supernatural strength to sustain them, for Your peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If it is Your will for them to travel, we ask that You would open the doors and provide the means. But more than anything, Lord, we pray that they would find their rest in You alone. Renew their spirit, revive their hope, and fill them with the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke the spirit of heaviness and weariness that has sought to overwhelm our sibling. We declare that the joy of the Lord is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10) and that they will rise up on wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, walking and not fainting. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to sustain them. May they experience Your rest in a tangible way, even today.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Beloved, we also encourage you to seek practical ways to rest and restore your body. This may include setting boundaries, seeking help from fellow believers, or even speaking with a pastor or biblical counselor who can walk with you through this season. Do not isolate yourself—God often provides rest through the support and care of His people.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from Psalm 127:2 (WEB): *"It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones."* Trust that the Lord loves you deeply and desires to give you the rest you so desperately need. Lean on Him, and He will sustain you.
I want to travel, to get away from this place and find some rest and fresh air. Please pray for an immediate solution!! The last few months were incredibly difficult 
In Jesus name amen !! Bless the Lord
