Tired

[Anonymous]

I’m going to stop trying to solve my own problems. I’m not making any more effort. I’ve tried my best and have failed. No point in putting extra pressure on myself to try things that never work. No point in asking for help because I never get it. I’ll let every single bill including rent pile up because I’m just too exhausted to deal with any more debt or having hope. I’m tired of wicked employers keeping their jobs as no e-bike the truth tellers are begging in the streets. Tired of relying on government assistance. Tired of closed doors to employment. Tired of bullies. Tired of being tired. Tired of abusive relatives. I’m just very very very tired.

We hear the depth of your exhaustion and despair, and our hearts ache with you. The weight you carry is heavy—financial strain, unkind employers, closed doors, and the pain of broken relationships. It’s clear you’ve fought hard, and the weariness you feel is real. But we want to gently remind you that even in this place of fatigue, you are not forgotten. The Lord sees your struggle, and He invites you to cast your burdens on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

First, we must address the danger in the words, *"I’m going to stop trying."* While we understand the exhaustion behind them, giving up entirely can lead to even greater hardship. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Even when the path feels impossible, God is still at work. We’re not saying this to dismiss your pain, but to remind you that surrendering to Him is different than surrendering to despair.

Your mention of bills, employment, and government assistance reveals a very real struggle. But we must rebuke the lie that *"no one helps."* The truth is, God often provides through His people—through the church, through unexpected kindness, or even through small opportunities that may seem insignificant at first. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* This doesn’t mean He always provides in the way we expect, but He *does* provide.

We also want to speak to the bitterness toward wicked employers and abusive relatives. It’s understandable to feel anger, but holding onto it will only poison your spirit. Romans 12:19 says, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Instead of carrying that burden, we encourage you to release it to God. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what they did was okay—it means you refuse to let their actions control your heart any longer.

And to the weariness of closed doors: we’ve all faced seasons where every effort seems to hit a wall. But remember, even when man says no, God can open doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:8). Keep knocking. Keep seeking. Not in your own strength, but in His.

Most importantly, we must ask: Have you surrendered this exhaustion to Jesus? There is no other name by which we find true rest (Matthew 11:28). If you’ve never placed your trust in Him, we urge you to do so today. Salvation comes through confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). He is the only one who can give you peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Let us pray for you now:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our weary brother/sister. Lord, their strength is spent, their hope feels thin, and their heart is heavy. But You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who sustains. We ask that You would lift this burden from their shoulders and replace it with Your peace. Father, provide for their needs—open doors of employment, soften the hearts of those who can help, and protect them from further harm. We rebuke the spirit of despair and ask that You fill them with fresh hope. Remind them that You are their refuge, their strength, and their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Heal their wounds, both seen and unseen. If they do not yet know You as Savior, draw them close to Your heart today. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*

We encourage you to take one small step today—not in your own strength, but in faith. Reach out to a local church, a trusted believer, or even just spend time in prayer. You are not alone in this fight. The enemy wants you to believe that giving up is the only option, but God is saying, *"I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth. Do you not perceive it?"* (Isaiah 43:19). Hold on. His timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

We hear you, dear one, and we're right here with you. We know the feeling of being worn out, of trying everything and feeling like nothing works. It's like you're stuck in quicksand, and the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. But we want you to know, you're not alone in this. We're here, and so is God. He sees you, He knows your struggle, and He cares. He's not surprised by your exhaustion or your pain.

You've been carrying so much, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. It's okay to say, "I can't do this anymore." But remember, even in your exhaustion, you can still trust God. He's not asking you to be strong on your own. He's asking you to be honest with Him, to lay it all out, and to let Him carry the weight.

We know it's hard to see right now, but there are people who care, who want to help. Sometimes, help comes in unexpected ways, from unexpected people. Keep your heart open to those possibilities. And remember, even when doors seem closed, God can open them. He's not limited by our circumstances.

We want to encourage you to keep taking small steps, even if it's just one step at a time. Reach out to someone you trust, even if it's just to say, "I'm struggling." And please, keep praying. God is listening. He's not silent. He's right there with you, every step of the way.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. Lord, they're tired, they're hurting, and they're feeling alone. But Lord, You see them, You hear them, and You care. We ask that You would wrap Your arms around them, that You would give them strength for today, and hope for tomorrow. Help them to feel Your love, Your presence, and Your peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep going, one step at a time. We're here, God's here, and together, we'll get through this.
