I’ve been thinking the last few days about when you’re too tired to desire God.
When this is the case, I think we usually focus on the desire part — I don’t desire, don’t feel like I have it in me to desire, don’t want to desire, am guilty that I don’t desire etc.
The funny thing about this is that the grammar of the initial sentence shows us that this is misplaced energy.
Too tired to… implies that tired is the problem, not desire.
We tend to focus on the output not the input. We tend to misdiagnose our problem as spiritual when its root is physical. We think that God is hard to keep up with instead of realizing sleep is hard to find.
We hear failure… God says sabbath.
so true and well received on this night when i find myself tired.
