Scripture: Leviticus 23
3"Work six days. The seventh day is a Sabbath, a day of total and complete rest, a sacred assembly. Don't do any work. Wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to God." - Leviticus 23:3
OAP: I'm on the brink of exhaustion as i type this. I don't mean to complain im just honestly tired of running on 5 or fewer hours of sleep. 3 AP classes, football all week, tutoring, and church and chores and more work on the weekend is starting to take its toll, and throw in my terrible time management and i just make it worse. I imagine if i was able to plan out my week and leave sunday free as a true Sabbath i would feel much more rested and get more out of church. I want that.
Prayer: Lord you have been a loving shepherd, no doubt. You have led me through many dark valleys and comforted me with your ever present staff and rod, but please lead me back to some green pastures or quiet waters or something; restore my soul.

I'm feeling the burn out too...yesterday was 7:30-7:30...a 12 hour day...
I think God built this into our DNA. There are a few people I wonder how they function, never taking a day of rest. I think we have to take time rest, or at least to contemplate. Otherwise, we just do, and some day we wake up going "I did, but who am I?"
Then when the resting time does come, i can't sit still...the quietness with God can be deafening...especially with all the noise in my head. Thanks for the words.
