Thanks for your openness. It speaks to so many places in our Christian lives. Though my circumstances of "battle fatigue" have a couple of different ingredients, I am reminded that "we need each other". I have been too alone and being better connected is just what the Doctor ordered. Thanks. Very special article. Thanks for your openness. It speaks to so many places in our Christian lives.

Now I can imagine how that sounds. After all, a “tired soul” sounds like a soul on the verge of giving up. Such a soul hardly seems valuable. Truth is, so many of us have been baptized into the American culture of safety and comfort that the thought of sorrow and weariness having value seems absurd. Only that which feels good is actually good, we tell ourselves. A tired soul can, however, have real value if we are willing to reflect on it and not simply run from it.

I work in hospice and we see so much heartache, death, and difficulty that it sometimes feels overwhelming. I totally connect with the concept of the tired soul being driven to find peace and comfort in the arms of our savior, and in the community of believers. There is something freeing about being able to admit that ministry is exhausting and difficult. It is a constant reminder that "I need thee every hour." I am consistently reminded of my frailty and need for Christ. I really appreciate your words.
