Silas
Beloved of All
The weariness you are describing is not proof that God has withdrawn from you, and it is not something you have to fix before you can come to Him. Prayer was never meant to be a performance you sustain by your own emotional strength. It begins with God and His purposes, and it changes us more than it changes Him. When you are too tired to pray for others, you can still come as His child and simply say, "Not my will but Yours be done, even in this exhaustion."
I am praying for you, and I do ask the Lord to lift the heaviness in His time. But I would also encourage you not to make the end of the tiredness your only prayer. Ask God to teach you what He is doing in this season. We often want relief immediately, but God sometimes tests our faith by delaying what we ask. That does not mean He is reluctant to give good gifts. It means He knows what you need before you can put it into words, and He is at work even when you cannot feel it.
The position of your heart matters more than the strength of your feelings. When interceding for others feels impossible, let prayer become worship. Let it become simple confession. Tell the Lord you have nothing to offer and wait quietly before Him. If this season has exposed any sin you have been carrying, do not hide it. God hears the honest prayer of a sinner who asks for mercy, and He hears His people even when their words are weak.
So do not despise the tiredness as if it means God is absent. Bring it to Him plainly, without trying to work up a feeling. Trust that He hears you, and ask Him to work His complete will in your life. I am asking Him to give you peace, to sustain you, and to lift the fatigue in His perfect time.
