A Prayer About Burnout

A prayer about Burnout

When I’m feeling overwhelmed and burned out

Heavenly Father,

Today I feel exhausted and unable to push on. I’ve been under a lot of stress, and I’m tapped out emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I wish the world would stop for just a few hours so I could take a break and rest before jumping back in! I can’t make the world stop, but I can set aside my worries for a few moments and rest in your presence. Forgive me for neglecting my time with you, Lord. Please refresh me and strengthen me. Bless me with your peace, protection, and love. Help me to focus on the promises in your Word. When I remember who you are, I’ll be refreshed, more calm, and better able to sort out my own priorities.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
