Have you ever run out of gas when driving? You were driving down the
road just fine, and then all of the sudden, your car doesn’t want to go
anymore. It sputters, slows down, and finally rolls to a stop. You
realize, you’re not going any farther. You’ve run out of gas.
Its easy in life to feel like you’re out of gas. There are so many
things asking for our attention. We have jobs, church, school, homework,
maybe even babysitting your little brother and at times it just seems
overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like you can’t go on. Its sort of like
you just ran out of gas in life.
The Bible speaks to this in Matthew 11:28-30 in the Message Translation:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Jesus said that when we’re tired, worn out that we can come to Him.
We can learn to not take the stresses, cares, and worries of life on us,
but rather learn to lean on Jesus. He’s the one that can show us ways
to de-stress our lives. Lots of times all we need is a little God
perspective on the situation.
So when you’re stressed out and feeling like you’re running on empty,
remember you’re not alone. You’ve got Jesus ready to help you out all
you have to do is ask Him for it.
When you’re stressed out, remember to lean on Jesus. He’s got a way to help you out. – @studentdevos
Pray: Jesus, I thank you that you’re here to help me
in every stressful situation that I face. I choose to look to you for
help when I’m running on empty. I believe that you’re showing me the
steps to take or changes I may need to make to de-stress my life. I ask
for your help with all I’m facing this week, and know that with your
help I can make it. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
