There was a season in my life when everything felt like complete overwhelm with no explanation. No matter how much I prayed or sought the Lord for answers, nothing was clear anymore. Nothing made sense. The answers just weren’t coming. I was tired in every way possible—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It felt like one trial after another with no break in between. Hurt after hurt. Pain after pain. Attack after attack. I remember thinking, “I’m just ready for this version of my life to be over.” Not in a suicidal way, but in a “Lord, I don’t want to live like this anymore” way, and I was ready to throw in the towel, for real. My body was tired. My mind was tired. My soul was crying out. Spiritually, I was drained. So much so that my health started fading. My family was in a heavy season too. Every time I thought I was getting through one trial, another one came right on top of it. No break. No clarity. No answers. Just an extended season of being afflicted on multiple sides at once. I was interceding for others. Showing up for others. Pouring out. And yet I felt unseen, unrefilled, and exhausted. I felt like I “had to” keep going, even when nothing was being poured back into me. I was just… tired. There’s a passage in Lamentations that describes exactly how that season felt: “He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship… I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.” (Lamentations 3:5,17) That was my heart. Surrounded. Drained. Wondering where peace even went. And yet, in my most vulnerable moments, when I felt like I was at my very end and ready to say, “I’m tired of trying, tired of fighting, tired of praying, tired of being unseen”, God would show up. He would not let me go. He reminded me, again and again, that He still heard my prayers and that He was still working, even when I couldn’t see it. I witnessed miracles for others. I carried grief in many forms. I walked through loss, pain, and spiritual warfare all at once. And even while waiting on my own breakthrough, God kept showing me that He was still present, still faithful, still near.
