Default Could It Happen To Me?

Could It Happen To Me?

Isaiah 40:28-31: “He gives strength to the weary… those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (vv.29 and 31).

High achieving, goal-oriented, capable, overly-conscientious people are candidates for burnout. Myron Rush, president of Management Training Systems and author of the book, Burnout, defines burnout as “the type of stress and emotional fatigue, frustration, and exhaustion that occurs when a series of (or combination of) events in a relationship, mission, way of life, or job fail to produce an expected result.”

Some of us who are positive our commitment to hard work will bring us what we desire are flabbergasted when we run out of energy, enthusiasm and faith. Defeatedly we ask: Is there any hope for renewal and recovery? “Yes!” says our Creator. “Though you stumble and fall, you will one day soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not faint. Trust me. I will renew your lost strength.”

Lord, I’m too exhausted to feel.
An unbalanced lifestyle has eroded my inner being and threatened my relationships.
You can help restore what has been destroyed.
And I’m now asking for your help.

When I came into recovery, I was not in touch with my feelings. This disease is no respecter of persons. It took a long time to identify them, and it wasn't until I allowed myself to feel them, that I could let them go.

Just because I didn't it once, doesn't mean that is the only time I do it. It is a one day at a time program. I would go to meetings, hear people share, and say, "Oh, I can identify with that. Is that what I have been feeling all this time." The biggy was anxiety. I pooh hooed the word, until I found that I had it too. Got of the bus, left my groceries and cart in the middle of the grocery store, fear of bridges, grates, and a lot of the unknown.
