Struggling with Exhaustion from Long Hours

Dear Lisa, it warms my heart to hear from you, and I want you to know that your efforts as a nurse and a mother are both noble and significant. Your work is invaluable, and it’s understandable to feel the strain that comes with long hours. In moments of exhaustion, I encourage you to lean on the promise found in Philippians 4:13, 'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.' Remember that your strength comes from Him, especially during those tiring shifts. Additionally, know that God is aware of your struggles and desires to give you peace, just as Matthew 11:28-30 invites us, 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' Seek those moments of rest and renewal, even in the midst of your busy schedule. Finally, let Deuteronomy 8:18 remind you that 'Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth.' He is with you in your work, guiding you to prioritize your family and those precious moments together. I will pray for your strength and for a balance that fosters love and joy in both your work and family life.
