When You’re Drained
Do you feel drained or spiritually empty? You know you’re saved, but you’re tired and discouraged. What do we do when we want to serve the Lord and live for Him, energetically, but we’re weary of the world? Or, perhaps we’re weary of ourself. God addresses our feeling and His solution. In Jeremiah 31:25 the Lord says, “I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes.” The LORD is our REFRESHER. Jesus echoes this in Matthew 5:3-6. Are we poor in spirit? Are we mourning? Are we hungry and thirsty for righteousness? If so, we can go to the rich, flowing river of Life that we have in the LORD. We can drink. We can be satisfied. We can languish no more.
Heavenly Father and Jesus, the world and self leave us languishing and longing. You fill us with Your presence and satisfy our thirst. We praise You and give You thanks.
