I'm just going to jump right in here! :)
I'm going to pick on "I'm tired"! It is one that is heard an awful lot! Countless people say on a daily (sometimes even hourly) basis say, "I'm tired"!
I have a question for those people - why do you feel that way? I want you to sit down, spend some time, and analyse why you feel that way!
Then I want to to seek God on what He says about why you feel that way!
There are multiple reasons why you could feel tired! So before we do anything about finding a solution, we need to sort out the exact problem!
If you are regularly tired and run down, what have you tried to do to solve the problem?
The problem could in fact be your body telling you that you are doing too much! Or it could be that your body is telling you that there is a serious problem that needs medical attention ASAP! There is the possibility of many reasons for why you feel like that!
There is one in particular that I want to cover! That is, the self-fulfilling prophecy! This is where you are the victim of your own tongue! It starts out simply - you overdid something a long time back, and you said, I feel tired! (There's nothing wring with feeling tired, so long as you get yourself the rest you require). You keep overdoing this something and as a consequence, you stay tired. By now you've been telling yourself how tired you are for quite a long time! You speak to yourself that you are always tired. You tell your friends and your family that you are always tired! So your body (which is very good at listening to the words that fall out of your mouth) starts listening and believing what you are saying! Then, it starts acting on what you are saying! Thus, you score for yourself a self-fulfilling prophecy! Even if you change your actions and rest, you're still tired! This is a problem!
The best way to solve this little problem is to listen to what you are actually telling yourself! And change, not only your words, but your attitude, and your actions! Seeking God for healing of your mind and body and forgiving yourself for the words spoken will help too! Its a daily struggle to break through! But it is possible!
If you are telling yourself and your work mate that you are always tired, is that because you get home from work and stay awake until midnight then expect yourself to be awake at 5am? Logically speaking, you won't be able to live like that forever! Something will give out! Simply change your words AND your actions! Simply telling yourself that you will be awake and bright eyed is not enough if you are working all day, partying/studying/whatever half the night, sleeping 3-5 hours, getting up at 5am to do it all over again! Your tired because you need to rest!
Before you continue telling yourself you are tired, go and find out why you feel like that!
Likewise, before you tell yourself that you never have enough money or time, check out what you are spending your money or time doing!
Its all well and good going for prayer every week about a problem, but if your not actively trying to solve the issue, where's it going to get you? Disappointed and disillusioned!
I read a saying once - call out to God, but row away from the rocks! There's logic in that!
If you're tired, find out why! If you "never have enough whatever", find out why! If you seek God on what's going on, I'm pretty sure that He will tell you the problem, and how to fix it!
God is not only interested in your spiritual wellbeing, but He is logical and very practicle!
May Gods blessings shower down upon you.
