I'm unsure if many others deal with this but how do you deal with getting burnt out when it comes to our Christian walk?
Eccl 12:12
Much study is weariness to the flesh.
I can relate. At the same time:
Gal 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good.
2 Thess 3:13
But as for you brethren, do not from grow weary in doing good.
I gotta tell you. Im growing weary. Over the past 5 years of my walk with Christ I have prayed for, and have become more disciplined.
I got a new job that I'll be starting soon and I exercise regularly. There's church and bible studies throughout the week. Volunteering gets done in my city and I make sure to spend mornings and nights with God in prayer and in the Word and other books.
Honestly, that's what my days look like. And I'm thankful to God that I don't waste time on video games, movies/tv, being on my phone, etc. As most other people my age do. And that's how I used to spend my time. But things have gotten so much better over time.
Thing is, I'm getting to a point where I am just tired. I'm reading essentially the same material over and over. I feel as if I have been storing knowledge and I wish I had some way to put it into practice.
I feel.. unused. Idk. I mean I'm doing life. This is life. Responsibilities. It's not a cakewalk but it's what needs to be done.
Idk. I feel like I'm not really enjoying it if that makes sense. Not that I'm looking for happiness, health, and wealth and all that nonsense.
I just want to stop. You understand? All of the reading and stuff. My head is full to bursting with really great stuff but idk. A part of me is tempted to want to go back to how it was back then. I just wanna goof off.
But at the same time I don't want to do that. I'm just losing the motivation to keep reading and learning.
I have many thoughts. I'm burnt out and it's all kinda scrambled. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
