Romans 12:9-10 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Lord, I am tired—mentally, physically, emotionally—and when I get tired, I lose sight of the big picture, I lose my ability to be sincere, to cling to what is good, to be devoted in love, to honor others above myself.
Romans 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Lord, I am so deeply entrenched in my feelings right now—overwhelm and exhaustion. There is no spiritual fervor. Everything is a chore, a daunting, taxing, never ending chore. I do not want to live this way, but I’m having trouble implementing a solution. Please help me.
Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Lord, I claimed Romans 12:12 as my life verse in my youth, but somehow I have wandered far away from joy, patience, and faith in my day-to-day life. Thank You for the clarity to see that I am allowing my exhaustion and overwhelm to draw my attention away from You and Your desire for me to love sincerely. Forgive me. Help me to draw closer to You. Always. Amen.
Romans 12:13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality
Have a blessed day.
