Scripture: john 4
"4Now he had to go through Samaria. 5So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour."

OAP: Im finding a lot of my posts lately are about exhaustion, maybe that's because i dont get enough sleep, maybe im just a whiner. Who knows. And a sorry in advance if this turns out to be a rant. Im just gonna put down all my thoughts because i dont like to complain to people, but writing them in here gets them out somehow. Anyways, for some reason im finding comfort in the fact that Jesus got tired and took a break and sat down. This isn't anything amazing and obviously there's been other times when Jesus has been tired, but this really stood out tonight because im utterly dead. And after this ill be up doing more work like always, it's getting old. I honestly can't wait for this year to end its been so freaking challenging and ive been afraid to show it. But just thinking that even Jesus needed to stop and take a breather when he grew tired is comforting. This word "tired," in greek is kopiaw or kopiao it means to grow weary or exhausted from toils, burdens, or grief. It seems to be more than just physical exhaustion, not just a lack of sleep or being overworked but something emotional and spiritual. It is a fatigue of the heart and soul, and lately ive been feeling it. Some things i used to be so passionate for are losing their luster. I'm getting easily irritable, cynical, closed off. I seriously don't know how much longer i can take this dry spell, i see evil prevailing around me and it disheartens me. I'm close to empty God, renew my soul.

Prayer: 11Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Psalm 51
