When you’re stressed or close to burnout, are you most likely to run yourself into the ground, try to do it all on your own, or dwell on the negative?

5 minutes in and he just preached my entire situation.

[zoederrick]

This message was definitely for me. I ask for prayers for my mother who has Pancreatic Cancer, and for me who is her caregiver. I pray for strength, rest and healing for both of us. I lay this in Your hands, Jesus. Amen.

[guitargill]

This is helping so much. My wife was diagnosed with cancer. I was diagnosed with diabetes. And then I lost my job and need to continue being a part time pastor. Sometimes, life is hard! But God is still God.

[goofyall]

In march this year I hit that wall and got burned-out. Thanks for this message, I’m still recovering and need Gods presence, that whisper, every day of my life.

[donnaremillard]

This message is for me! I'm empty. Unsettled. Hurting physically, emotionally, spiritually a little.

*If you're happy, pray*
*If you're anxious, pray*
*If you're working, pray.*
*If you're angry, pray.*
*Always pray. Prayer has power.*

[terribryant]

Tears falling 😢……. Praise God for leading me to this message tonight. Thank you for being humble, open and transparent obedient servant of Yahweh! I will play this over again. ❤

[jeaniemo]

At home now feeling paralyzed from cognitive declined due to burnout. Your message is so timely. Thank God for your honesty and for his encouragement through you in such a time as this. Thank you Lord

[InitiateChangeSparkPeace]

Whoever is reading this I pray for peace, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and great health. May we come together and walk in unity so we can have love for one another.

Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long. Self-care is giving yourself permission to pause. I pray that God restores anyone who’s experiencing burnout and gives us strength. Thank you Pastor Craig. Needed this ❤

[jnhn]

This is the message I needed. Juggling work, coaching, and home. Last four years I was stress, burnout, most of all emotional break down. Thank you lord, thank you for leading me to this message.

[pikesonscandycompany]

This message is definitely for me! I am definitely mentally and physically drained. I call on the name of Jesus to help heal me from all my pain and brokenness.

[judybarrett]

l am asking for prayer my son Lee is going through surgery Tuesday 27th at 930am for the lump on his neck and collar bone that is cancer thank you Judy Barrett

[natalievillarreal]

THIS REALLY DID SPEAK FOR ME.

I just got injured in my bjj class. I was loaded and this was the only way out to rest, thankfully. He’s speaking to me in SO MANY WAYS. He’s merciful, He’s welcoming, He’s Forever Loving. I love you Jesus. ❤️

Just come to Him. Thank you Lord!

[vegasinspect]

Thank you, this message was for me, I've been in burnout for over 3 years and going on vacation is like you said "adding to my stress" because getting away doesn't help when you have to face the mountain that building while you're away. Thanks again for your message, it has reassured me of what I need to do and that is "I need My batteries to be recharged"!

[CdnEnjoyLife]

This happened to me recently. I was overwhelmed with church/town gossip, criticism, on top of my personal life. When I tried to establish boundaries that my counsellor insisted on, women in church/town (majority) have been awful. Immediately, they tried to label me as mentally ill and blame me for standing up for myself when my boundaries were disrespected. Churches need to wake up and stop putting people in charge that do not have the empathy nor compassion, respect, etc for others. When it's consistently a specific environment bringing someone down....that says a lot.

[ericbaker]

Thank you Pastor Craig for opening up and preaching about burnout. You described exactly what I have been living in for such a long time and never could define it. I'm just so fatigued all the time and wondered why I couldn't shake it. Changing my diet, exercising, journaling, and so many other things I would try to overcome it and it always came back. Every day. Which then lead me to giving up and becoming extremely apathetic towards everything and did what I needed to for survival. Thank you giving me a resource to share with others so that they can understand more clearly how I've been living for years now.

[abidingdisciple]

This message is for me! Praise your Holy Name Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!

[artofjoy]
